43. A phone company charges 10 cents per minute for the first 3 minutes of a call, and 10-cents for each minute thereafter.What is the cost, in cents, of a 10-minute phone call?
a. 200-20c
b.100c+70
c. 30+7c
d.100-7c
e. 100-70c
please answer and explain
Please proofread your problem.
10 cents per minute for the first 3 minutes + 30 cents, but I don't know what is 10-cents for each minute thereafter?
type mistake:
10 cents per minute for the first 3 minutes = 30 cents
10 - 3 = 7
This problem doesn't make sense as the charge per minute is the same -- whether it's the first three minutes or the rest of the phone call.
