Please help I am so confused
The phone company Ringular has a monthly cellular plan where a customer pays a flat monthly fee and then a certain amount of money per minute used on the phone. If a customer uses 480 minutes, the monthly cost will be $277. If the customer uses 990 minutes, the monthly cost will be $532.

A) Find an equation in the form
y=mx+b, where x is the number of monthly minutes used and
y is the total monthly cost of the Ringular plan.

Answer:
y=
B) Use your equation to find the total monthly cost if 881 minutes are used.

Answer: If 881 minutes are used, the total cost will be

Respuesta :

The total cost when 881 minutes is used is $477.50.

What are the equation that model the question?

a + 480b = 277 equation 1

a + 990b = 532 equation 2

Where:

  • a = flat fee
  • b = variable fee

What is the flat fee and the variable fee?

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2

510b = 255

b = 255 / 510

b = $0.50

In order to determine the flat fee, substitute for b in equation 1

a + 480(0.5) = 277

a + 240 = 277

a = 277 - 240

a = $37

What is the total cost when 881 minutes is used?

Total cost = flat fee + (variable cost x number of minutes spoken)

$37 + (881 x 0.5) = $477.50
