Question 96528: I have tried for two days to get the answer to this problem but I have still had no luck.Could you please help me with it and show me how you came to your answer.Thank you so much:
The cost for a long-distance telephone call is $0.36 for the first minute and $0.21 for each additional minute or portion thereof. Write an inequality representing the number of minutes a person could talk without exceeding $3.
Answer by psbhowmick(878) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Suppose the time for which a person talks be x minutes.
Assume: x > 1

So, the cost is $ 0.36 + $ 0.21(x - 1) = $ (0.21x + 0.15).
This value has to be less than or equal to $ 3.

Hence,

As x has to be a positive integer so x = 13.
