It costs $30.00 per month plus $0.30 per each additional minute over 200 minutes.
Write an expression for the monthly cost of n additional minutes.
.30n
:
Use the expression to find the total monthly cost for 85 additional minutes.
:
Total means include the fixed monthly cost of $30
cost = .30n + 30
:
cost = .30(85) + 30
cost = 25.50 + 30
cost = $55.50
