Question

A cell phone plan cost $200 to start. Then there is a $50 charge each month.

1. what is the total cost (start up fee and monthly charge) to use the cell phone plan for 1 month?
2. what is the total cost for x months?

Answer 1

1) $250

2) $200 + $50x

Explanation:

1)

$200 (start up fee) + $50 * ( 1 month ) = $200 + $50 = $250

2)

$200 (start up fee) + $50 * ( x months ) = $200 + $50x

Hope this helps :)
