1. If it costs 10 c/min to call within the area code, and he made a 1 hr call in the area code, it cost (60 min)*(10 c/min) = 600 c = $6. That means he has $25 - $6 = $19 left on the card. Long distance calls cost 20 c/min. With $19, he can call long distance for (1900 c) / (20 c/min) = 95 min. That's 1 hr, 35 min.

2. The total cost of the calls would be (60 min)*(10 c/min) + (120 min)*(20 c/min) = 600 c + 2400 c = 3000 c = $30.

card = $25.00
in area code = $.10/min
out area code = $0.20/min
# mins in area code = 60
# mins out area code = 120
# mins in area code made = 60

# 1
He made 60 mins of calls at 0.10/min = $6.00 so he has $19.00 left. At 0.20/min he can call 5 mins for $1.00. For $19 he can call 5 mins * 19 = 95 minutes.

# 2
He wants to call 60 mins in the area code and 120 mins outside. At 0.10/min 60 mins = $6.00. At 0.20/min 120 mins = $24.00. To make those calls he would need a $30.00 card

# 3
see above
