Nick's telephone company charges $0.06 per minute for weekend calls and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays.
-------------------------------------------------
this month Nick was billed for 558 minutes.
The charge for these minutes was $35.84.
How many minutes did he talk on the weekends and how many minutes did he talk on the weekdays?
-----------------
Equations::
# of calls:: E + D = 558
Value of calls: 6E + 8D = 3584 cents
------------------------------------------
Modify for elimination::
6E + 6D = 6*558
6E + 8D = 3484
-----
Solve for "D"::
2D = 136
D = 68 (# of weekday calls)
----
E = 558-68 = 490 (# of weekend calls)
