The charges for a long distance telephone call is $125 for the first five minutes and $32 for each additional minutes or fraction of a minute.
\n" ); document.write( " What is the largest whole number of minutes a call could last if it cost you less than $1200?
\n" ); document.write( "let m = total no. of minutes used
\n" ); document.write( "32(m-5) + 125 = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "32m - 160 = 1200 - 125
\n" ); document.write( "32m = 1075 + 160
\n" ); document.write( "32m = 1235
\n" ); document.write( "m = 1235/32
\n" ); document.write( "m = 38 whole min
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check the cost using 38 min of use
\n" ); document.write( "(32(38-5) + 125 = $1181 \n" ); document.write( "
