Question

For his long distance phone service, Bill pays a $3 monthly fee plus 11 cents per minute. Last month, Bill's long distance bill was $16.09. For how many minutes was Bill billed?

Answer 1

1.19 minutes

Explanation:

First, subtract the $3 monthly fee:

16.09 - 3

= 13.09

Then, divide this by 11:

13.09/11

= 1.19

So, he was billed for 1.19 minutes
