The problem just does not seem to describe enough information. Here is attempt to work with what you have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Promotion:
\n" ); document.write( "\"15%2B0.05%2At\" using t for minutes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Bill for the Promotion:
\n" ); document.write( "66\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That $66 bill would be \"15%2B0.05t=66\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Not known if the deal is for a month or a year or some other time period. Still the bill was $66.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve that bill equation for t, the number of minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.05t=66-15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.05t=51\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t=20%2A51\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28t=1020%29\" minutes, which is 17 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
