Question 190543
Set up the inequality:
.
90.20<0.25(t-300)+46.95<120.20
.
Subtracting 46.95 from all terms, we get:
.
43.25<0.25(t-300)<73.25
.
Simplifying the middle term, we get:
.
43.25<0.25t-75<73.25
.
Adding 75 to all terms, we get:
.
118.25<0.25t<148.25
.
Dividing all terms by 0.25, we get:
.
{{{473<t<593}}}
.
Therefore, the phone must be used more than 473 minutes but less than 593 minutes for the cost to be within the specified range.
