You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +x+ = his access fee without taxes
His 6-month bill, including taxes and
minus his installation fee is:
+350.38+-+100+=+250.38+
Monthly, this is:
+250.38%2F6+=+41.73+
I can now say:
+x+%2B+.07x+=+41.73+
+1.07x+=+41.73+
+x+=+39+
Justin’s monthly access fee not including taxes is $39
