Question

Heather has a family phone plan. The monthly payment for the family plan includes a $70 charge for unlimited talk and text, a $20 line fee per phone, and a $22.91 equipment fee for each phone. Her total monthly bill is $241.64. Write and solve the equation to find how many phones are on the plan.

Answer 1

x = number of phone

70+22,91x+20x=241,64

42,91x= 241.64-70

42.91x=171.64

x=4

Heather has 4 phones on the plan

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 4 phones

Explanation:

Let x be the number of phones on the plan. We can write an equation to solve by using the given details.

$70 + $20x + $22.91x = $241.64

Next, we will simplify this equation.

$42.91x = $171.64

Lastly, we will divide both sides of the equation 42.91.

x = 4 phones
