A long-distance phone call costs $0.84 for the first minute and $0.58 for each additional minute or portion thereof. Write an inequality representing the number of minutes a person could talk without exceeding $6.
Let N be the number of minutes. Write an expression for the cost in terms of N. Set that expression <or= 6.00
The largest value of N that satisfies the inequality will be the answer.
