Question 53948: Can someone help me on this problem?
The cost for a long-distance telephone call is $0.36 for the first minute and $0.21 for each additional minute or portion thereof. I need to write an inequality representing the number of minutes a person could talk without exceeding $3.
Thanks, Ashley

-----
Let "x" be the number of minutes of calls.
INEQUALITY:
1st minute cost + cost of additional minutes <=$3.00
0.36 + {0.21)(x-1)<=3.00
