A cell phone costs $20 for 400 minutes and $2 for each extra minute. Gina uses 408 minutes. How mA cell phone costs $20 for 400 minutes and $2 for each extra minute. Gina uses 408 minutes. How much will it cost?
Set up the cost function for minutes (m) if m is greater than or equal to 400
C(m) = 20 + 2(m - 400)
For m = 408, we have:
C(408) = 20 + 2(408 - 400)
C(408) = 20 + 2(8)
C(408) = [B]36[/B]

A cell phone provider is offering an unlimited data plan for $70 per month or a 5 GB plan for $55 peA cell phone provider is offering an unlimited data plan for $70 per month or a 5 GB plan for $55 per month. However, if you go over your 5 GB of data in a month, you have to pay an extra $10 for each GB. How many GB would be used to make both plans cost the same?
Let g be the number of GB.
The limited plan has a cost as follows:
C = 10(g - 5) + 55
C = 10g - 50 + 55
C = 10g + 5
We want to set the limited plan equal to the unlimited plan and solve for g:
10g + 5 = 70
Solve for [I]g[/I] in the equation 10g + 5 = 70
[SIZE=5][B]Step 1: Group constants:[/B][/SIZE]
We need to group our constants 5 and 70. To do that, we subtract 5 from both sides
10g + 5 - 5 = 70 - 5
[SIZE=5][B]Step 2: Cancel 5 on the left side:[/B][/SIZE]
10g = 65
[SIZE=5][B]Step 3: Divide each side of the equation by 10[/B][/SIZE]
10g/10 = 65/10
g = [B]6.5[/B]
Check our work for g = 6.5:
10(6.5) + 5

A cellular phone company charges a $49.99 monthly fee for 600 free minutes. Each additional minute cA 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 = [B]$102.49[/B]

A man bought a mobile phone for $800 and sold it for $1000. What was his profit as a percentage of tA man bought a mobile phone for $800 and sold it for $1000. What was his profit as a percentage of the cost price
Calculate Profit:
Profit = Sales Price - Cost
Profit = 1000 - 800

Calculate profit percentage:
Profit Percentage = Profit * 100 / Cost
Profit Percentage = 800 * 100 / 200

A phone company offers two monthly charge plans. In Plan A, there is no monthly fee, but the customeA phone company offers two monthly charge plans. In Plan A, there is no monthly fee, but the customer pays 8 cents per minute of use. In Plan B, the customer pays a monthly fee of $1.50 and then an additional 7 cents per minute of use.
For what amounts of monthly phone use will Plan A cost more than Plan B?
Set up the cost equations for each plan. The cost equation for the phone plans is as follows:
Cost = Cost Per Minute * Minutes + Monthly Fee
Calculate the cost of Plan A:
Cost for A = 0.08m + 0. <-- Since there's no monthly fee
Calculate the cost of Plan B:
Cost for B = 0.07m + 1.50
The problem asks for what amounts of monthly phone use will Plan A be more than Plan B. So we set up an inequality:
0.08m > 0.07m + 1.50
[URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=0.08m%3E0.07m%2B1.50&pl=Solve']Typing this inequality into our search engine[/URL], we get:

If Joe's phone bill was $60 under this promotional deal, how many minutes of phone calls did he make? Round to the nearest integer if necessary.
Let m be the number of minutes Joe used. We have a cost function of:
C(m) = 0.05m + 15
If C(m) = 60, then we have:

Clariza was able to sell 10 cellphones costing Php 18,000.00 each. Each transaction is payable in 6 months equally divided into 6 equal instalments without interest. Clariza gets 2% commission on the first month for each of the 10 cellphones. Commission decreases by 0.30% every month thereafter and computed on the outstanding balance for the month. How much commission does Clariza receive on the third month?
Calculate Total Sales Amount:
Calculate Total Sales Amount = 10 cellphones * 18000 per cellphone
Calculate Total Sales Amount = 180000
Calculate monthly sales amount installment:
monthly sales amount installment = Total Sales Amount / 6
monthly sales amount installment = 180000/6
monthly sales amount installment = 30000 per month
Calculate Third Month Commission:
Third month commission = First Month Commission - 0.30% - 0.30%
Third month Commission = 2% - 0.30% - 0.30% = 1.4%
Calculate 3rd month commission amount:
3rd month Commission amount = 1.4% * 30000

The sales tax rate in a city is 7.27%. How much sales tax is charged on a purchase of 5 headphonesThe sales tax rate in a city is 7.27%. How much sales tax is charged on a purchase of 5 headphones at $47.44 each? What is the total price?
[U]First, calculate the pre-tax price:[/U]
Pre-tax price = Price per headphone * Number of Headphones
Pre-tax price = $47.44 * 5
Pre-tax price = $237.20
Now calculate the tax amount:
Tax Amount = Pre-Tax Price * (Tax Rate / 100)
Tax Amount = $237.20 * 7.27/100
Tax Amount = $237.20 * 0.0727
Tax Amount = [B]$17.24

Calculate the total price:
Total Price = Pre-Tax price + Tax Amount
Total Price = $237.20 + $17.24
