The relationship between the monthly fee for Brandon’s phone and the price per minute for long distance is modeled by the linear function f (x) = 0.05x + 3, where x is the number of minutes used for long distance. What is the total bill if Brandon used 20 minutes of his long distance service in a month?

Respuesta :

If you use 0.05x+3 (x equal to the number of minutes) it would be 0.05(20) + 3 = 4. Pretty sure this is correct, but you might want to check it.

the linear function f (x) = 0.05x + 3,

f(x) is the monthly fee and x is the price per minute

Brandon used 20 minutes of his long distance

So x is 20 minutes

We plug in 20 for x

f(x) = 0.05x + 3

f(20) = 0.05(20) + 3 = 4

So total bill is  $4 if Brandon used 20 minutes of his long distance service in a month
