Question 1195736: Debbie pays $0.15 per text and $0.08 per minute of voice calls on her cell phone. She budgets $25 per month for her cell phone bill.
Attach a graph showing the relationship between the number of text messages and voice minutes she can use for $25. Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = number of text messages
y = number of minutes of voice calls.
the equation is .15x + .08y = 25
when x = 0, y = 25/.08 = 312.5.
when y = 0, x = 25/.15 = 166.67, rounded to 2 decimal places.
you can pick any value of x between 0 and 166.67 and you will get the corresponding value of y.
you can pick any value of y between 0 and 312.5 and you will get the corresponding value of y.
the assumption here is that you spend exactly 25 dollars.
for example, if x=100, then the equation becomes .15 * 100 + .08 * y = 25
solve for y to get y = (25 - .15 * 100) / .08 = 125
as long as the total has to be 25, then y = 125 when x = 100.
