Question

For his long distance phone service, tony pays $3 monthly fees plus 11 cents per minute. Last month, Tony's long distance bill was $22.03. For how many minutes was tony billed

Answer 1

173 minutes

Explanation:

Total fees= monthly fees + $0.11(number of minutes)

$22.03= $3 +$0.11(number of minutes)

$0.11(number of minutes)

= $22.03 -$3

= $19.03

= 1903¢

11¢ (number of minutes)= 1903¢

Number of minutes

= 1903¢ ÷11¢

= 173

Thus, Tony was billed for 173 minutes.
