.35m+39.95

“m” represents minutes.

__________ = X

.35

If the 500 minutes are free…they wont be accounted for in the equation. The line denotes dividing the top equation by .35

(minute thereafter) = .35 so

29.75 / .35 = 85

so 85 minutes were used over 500

b – p = e

m = .35

e/.35 = minutes used

i think!!

$39.95 + call charges = $69.70

You can now work out the call charges.

Divide the call charges by $0.35 to find the number of minutes.

As an additional if you add it to the 500 you will get the total number of minutes spent on the phone.

Try to use what I have written to create the equation.

then just solve for X

0.35x=29.75

x=85

585 minutes

_________ -500=X

.35
