Question

cellular phone service is available for $42 per month for 1594 minutes. what is the monthly cost per minute? round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cent.

Answer 1

Divide the monthly cost by the number of minutes:

$42 / 1594 = 0.026

Rounding to the tenths would be the first place to the right of the decimal which would be 0.00

Cents are usually rounded to the hundredths place, which would be $0.03 per minute.
