A phone company charges a basic rate of $13.99 per month. In addition the user is charged $0.10 per minute for all long distance calls made during the week and $0.08 per minute for all long distance calls made during the weekend. Write an expression that gives the total monthly bill.Evaluate expression if you talk long distance for 30 minutes during the week and 50 minutes during the weekend.

Why did the phone go to therapy? Because it had a lot of long distance relationship issues!

To calculate the total monthly bill, we need to add the basic rate of $13.99 and the charges for the long distance calls.

Let's break down the charges:

Weekdays:
$0.10 per minute for 30 minutes = $0.10 * 30 = $3.00

Weekends:
$0.08 per minute for 50 minutes = $0.08 * 50 = $4.00

Now, we can write the expression for the total monthly bill:

Total Monthly Bill = Basic Rate + Charges for Weekdays + Charges for Weekends
Total Monthly Bill = $13.99 + $3.00 + $4.00

So, the expression for the total monthly bill is:
Total Monthly Bill = $13.99 + $3.00 + $4.00

Evaluating this expression:
Total Monthly Bill = $13.99 + $3.00 + $4.00
Total Monthly Bill = $20.99 + $4.00
Total Monthly Bill = $24.99

Therefore, the total monthly bill would be $24.99.

Remember, laughter is the best way to deal with bills!

To write an expression that gives the total monthly bill, we can break it down into three parts: the basic rate, the cost of long distance calls during the week, and the cost of long distance calls during the weekend.

Let's denote the total monthly bill as "B". The basic rate is $13.99 per month.

The cost of long distance calls during the week, with 30 minutes of talking, is given by 30 * $0.10.

The cost of long distance calls during the weekend, with 50 minutes of talking, is given by 50 * $0.08.

Putting it all together, the expression for the total monthly bill is:
B = 13.99 + (30 * 0.10) + (50 * 0.08)

To evaluate the expression, we substitute the values:
B = 13.99 + (30 * 0.10) + (50 * 0.08)
B = 13.99 + 3 + 4
B = 20.99

So, the total monthly bill would be $20.99.

To write an expression that gives the total monthly bill, we need to consider the basic rate of $13.99 per month and the charges for long distance calls.

Let's start by calculating the charges for long distance calls during the week. The user is charged $0.10 per minute, and they talked for 30 minutes. So the charges for long distance calls during the week would be: 0.10 * 30 = $3.00.

Next, let's calculate the charges for long distance calls during the weekend. The user is charged $0.08 per minute, and they talked for 50 minutes. Thus, the charges for long distance calls during the weekend would be: 0.08 * 50 = $4.00.

Finally, we can write the expression to find the total monthly bill:

Total Monthly Bill = Basic Rate + Charges for Long Distance Calls during the Week + Charges for Long Distance Calls during the Weekend.

Substituting the values, we get:

Total Monthly Bill = $13.99 + $3.00 + $4.00

Evaluating the expression:

Total Monthly Bill = $20.99

Therefore, if you talk long distance for 30 minutes during the week and 50 minutes during the weekend, the total monthly bill would be $20.99.

X = The # of long dist. minutess during the week.

Y = Long dist. minutss during weekend.

Cost = 0.1x + 0.08y + 13.99
Cost = 0.1*30 + 0.08*50 + 13.99=$20.99.
