Jane’s cell phone plan is $58 each month plus $0.20 per minute for each minute over 200 minutes of call time. Jane’s cell phone bill last month was $67.00. Write an equation that can be used to determine the number of minutes over 200 that Jane was billed. How many minutes over 200 was Jane billed last month?



m = number of minutes over 200

Answer: 45 minutes more than 200

Step-by-step explanation:

So for every minute over 200 jane has to pay 0.20 cents per additional minute. The equation we can use is $58+0.20m=$67 where m is the amount of minutes after 200 jane has to pay 20 cents per

58+0.20m=67

0.20m=9

m=45

So Jane was billed for 45 minutes over 200 minutes last month. so in total 245 minutes and she was charged for the extra 45 minutes.

Hope this helps :)
