Question 525792: Please help me with this problem!
A phone company charges callers $2.25 for the first 4 minutes and $0.50 for every minute after. Write an equation for the cost "C" for calling for "M" minutes.

I tried to work it out, and I got "C= M + $0.50," which wasn't correct. Please help me!
