Josh is looking at a smartphone plan.
The plan cost $200 upfront plus $55 monthly plus 15% tax on both upfront and monthly cost.
Create a linear equation that relates the total cost”t” in terms of months”m”
t(m) = 1.15(55m + 200)
:
how much will Josh pay over his 2 year term.
m = 24 months
t(m) = 1.15(55(24) + 200)
t(m) = 1.15(1320 + 200)
t(m) = 1.15(1520)
t(m) = $1748 the two year cost
