Question

The Cost of a long distance phone call is $1.50 for the first two minutes and $0.60 for each additional minute. How much will Maria pay for a 24 minute phone call?

Answer 1

$14.70c

Once you just take away the first 2 minutes, you can then just x 22 by $0.60

Then add the $1.50 on.

P.S. These Fools at the Bottom Are Going On the Premis that the First 2 Minutes Cost $1.50 EACH !

But phonecalls don't work like that, otherwise no one would speak past the first minute would they?

Answer 2

The answer is $14.70. for those who said something different, remmember 1.50 for the first 2 (TWO) minutes. Then you multiply 60 cents by 22, the remaining minutes. this is technically 6 times 22, because end zeros in a decimal don't count which equals 132 so you move the decimal up one, and add zero, because we are moving back to dollers, and that equals 13.20 then you add 1:50 for the first two minutes and you get 14.70. Da man do you mean 1.50 for the two minutes together, or 1.50 for each of the two minutes? in the other case, it woul equal 16.20 so i guess everyones right as far as i know.

Answer 3

the first two minutes cost $3. $1.50 x 2. that leaves 22 minutes at 60 cents each minute 22 x .60 or $13.20, add the two together, $13.50 + $3.00 equals $16.50

Answer 4

2 x $1.50=$3.00
22 x $.60=$12.44
Total charges for 24 minutes = $15.44

Answer 5

1.50+22*.6
1.50+13.2
$14.70 for a 24 minute phone call

Answer 6

$14.70

.60*22 (1.50 for 2 so you subtract the first 2 min)=13.2

$13.20
+$ 1.50
=$14.70



uhhh, you do know that that is rather elementry right

Answer 7

2 x 1.50 = $3.00
22 x .60 = $13.20
$3 + $13.20 = $16.20

Answer 8

2(1.50) + 22(0.60) = $16.20

Answer 9

24-2=22
1.50 ( FOR 1ST TWO MINUTES) + 22(.60)= $14.70

Answer 10

I think it's $16.20
