NEED HELP QUIK!!! 20PTS


For his phone service, Ryan pays a monthly fee of $10, and he pays an additional $0.06 per minute of use. The least he has been charged in a month is $92.74. What are the possible numbers of minutes he has used his phone in a month? Use m for the number of minutes, and solve your inequality for m.

Answer:

$92.74 = 0.06m + $10

m = 1545.67 (or 1546 if rounded to the nearest whole minute)

Step-by-step explanation:

m represents the number of minutes, which we have been told are charged at $0.06 per minute.

$10 is the constant because he is charged this every month.

Set up the equation with these numbers:

92.74 = 0.06m + 10

Now solve the equation

Subtract 10 from both sides to get m by itself:

92.74 - 10 = 0.06m + 10 - 10

82.74 = 0.06m

Divide each side by 0.06 to get m as a whole number

92.74/0.06 = 1545.67

0.06m/0.06 = m

Therefore

m = 1545.67 (or 1546 if rounded to the nearest whole minute)
