Question

John's cell phone gives him 1250 minutes for $25. He used 1300 minutes. How much will his cell phone company bill him for?

Answer 1

The charge applied by company for calling 1300 minutes is $26

Explanation:

Given as :

The charge applied by company for calling 1250 minutes = $25

The total calling used by John's = 1300 minutes

Let the charge applied by company for calling 1300 minutes = $x

Now, According to question

∵ The charge applied by company for calling 1250 minutes = $25

or, The charge applied by company for calling 1 minute =
`(25)/(1250)`

∴ The charge applied by company for calling 1300 minute =
`(25)/(1250)` × 1300

i.e x =
`(25* 1300)/(1250)`

Or, x = $26

So, The charge applied by company for calling 1300 minutes = x = $26

Hence,The charge applied by company for calling 1300 minutes is $26 Answer
