A long distance phone call costs $0.70 for the first minute and $0.39 for each additional minute or portion thereof. Write an inequality representing the number of minutes a person could talk without exceeding $4.
-----------------
Let "x" be the number of minutes used.
----------------------------------
INEQUALITY:
0.70 + 0.39(x-1) <= 4
