A long-distance phone call costs $1.11 for the first minute and $0.97 for each additional minute or portion thereof. I need to write an inequality representing the number of minutes a person could talk without exceeding $6.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let m = no. of minutes used
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The 1st minute is 1.11 and addition minutes will cost .97(m-1)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "First minute + additional minutes =< $6
\n" ); document.write( " 1.11 + .97(m-1) =< 6.00
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1.11 + .97m - .97 =< 6.00
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".97m + .14 =< 6.00
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".97m =< 6.00 - .14
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".97m =< 5.86
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".97m =< 5.86/.97
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "m =< 6.04 minutes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "m = 6 minutes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check by finding out just what 6 min cost:
\n" ); document.write( "1.11 + 5(.97) = $5.96\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
