A cellular phone company charges a $49.99 monthly fee for 600 free minutes. Each additional minute cost $.35. This month you used 750 minutes. How much do you owe?
Calculate the excess minutes over the standard plan:
Excess Minutes = 750 - 600
Excess Minutes = 150
Calculate additional cost:
150 additional minutes * 0.35 per additional minutes = $52.50
Add this to the standard plan cost of $49.99
$52.50 + $49.99 = $102.49
