Last month a customer made a 30 minute of calls. If the total cost of call was $85.00 how many of each type of call did the customer make?

Something is not right with this problem statement. If you took the worst case scenario, as written, let's say someone made 30 mins of long distance (the most expensive one) and 0 mins of local. That's 30 x .40 = $12, not even close to $85 in the problem statement. Please double check problem statement and repost.
