Lena has used $30-$24.05 = $5.95 of the total value of the card.
\n" ); document.write( "The question is...how many minutes of long-distance call can she get from $5.95 at $0.17 per minute.
\n" ); document.write( "To find out, you will need to divide $5.95 by $0.17, so...
\n" ); document.write( "\"5.95%2F0.17+=+35\"
\n" ); document.write( "Lena's long-distance call lasted 35 minutes.
