You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $\"+n+\"$ = number of minutes of the call
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+795+=+305+%2B+.7%28n+-+3%29+\"$ (in cents)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+795+=+305+%2B+.7n+-+2.1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.7n+=+795+-+305+%2B+2.1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.7n+=+492.1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+703+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is too much- should .70 cents be 70 cents ? \n" ); document.write( "
