Question 71434: Business and finance. 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. Write an inequality representing the number of minutes a person could talk without exceeding $3. Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If x = the number of minutes, then, from the problem description you can write: Solve this inequality for x. Subtract 0.36 from both sides. Now divide both sides by 0.21 minutes.
A person could talk for almost 13 minutes without exceeding a cost of $3.00
