Question 187327: I have a math project for school and it involves finding the equations of the following companies' data. I know how to graph these and the equations for each part of each graph; however, I don't know how to find an equation that will take into account the change in cost per minute. Thanks for any help!
Here is the data:
Company A: $30 fee, 10 cents a minute for the first 300 minutes, then 8 cents a minute after that.
Company B: No fee, 25 cents a minute for 200 minutes, 10 cents a minute for the next 500 minutes then 5 cents a minute.
Company C: $50 flat fee for the first 500 minutes, then 10 cents per minute.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! find an equation that will take into account the change in cost per minute. Thanks for any help!
Here is the data:
Company A: $30 fee, 10 cents a minute for the first 300 minutes, then 8 cents a minute after that.
Cost = 3000 + 10x for 0300
-----------------------------------------------------------
Company B: No fee, 25 cents a minute for 200 minutes, 10 cents a minute for the next 500 minutes then 5 cents a minute.
Cost = 25x for 0 < x <=200 or 10x for 200< x <=500 or 5x for x > 500
------------------------------------------------------------
Company C: $50 flat fee for the first 500 minutes, then 10 cents per minute.
Cost 50 for 0 < x <= 500 or 10x for x> 500
