The call lasted 12 minutes. 12x0.18=2.16. 30.00-2.16=$27.84

Answer:

The answer is 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the cost of one minute is $0.18. Firstly, you have to substract the remaing credits from her original credits :

$30 - $27.84 = $2.16

We have found out that she uses $2.16 for her long distance call. Next, you have to divide 18 cents from the uses in order to find out how many minutes she use :

[tex]1 \: min = 0.18dollar[/tex]

[tex]x \: mins = 2.16dollars[/tex]

[tex]x = 2.16 \div 0.18[/tex]

[tex]x = 12 \: mins[/tex]
