Question

Delaney pays her internet provider a monthly fee of $14.95 plus $5.75 for each gigabyte of data she stores in the cloud. If Delaney paid $60.95 for the month of January, how many gigabytes of data did she use that month?

Answer 1

Answer: 11.3 or 11 if you are to round to nearest whole number.

Explanation:

Take the problem step by step.

You know she has the monthly fee and a fee for each gigabyte of data she stores in her house.

Take how much she paid and Subtract the monthly fee from it since it has been a month.

$60.95 - $14.95 = $36

Now take that answer and divide it by the cost of each gigabyte to see how many she used that month.

$65 / $5.75 = 11.30434743, which rounds to 11.3 or 11 if you are to round to nearest whole number.
