A cellular phone company charges a $49.99 monthly fee for 600 free minutes. Each additional minute costs $.35. This month you used 750 minutes. How much do you owe
Find the overage minutes:
Overage Minutes = Total Minutes - Free Minutes
Overage Minutes = 750 - 600
Overage Minutes = 150
Calculate overage cost:
Overage Cost = Overage Minutes * Overage cost per minute
Overage Cost = 150 * 0.35
Overage Cost = $52.5
Calculate total cost (how much do you owe):
Total Cost = Monthly Fee + Overage Cost
Total Cost = $49.99 + $52.50
Total Cost = $102.49
