A cell phone compnay offers its customers a monthly plan that cost $55 per month plus $0.08 for each minute used. If Marissa use 225 minutes in a month, how much will she pay for one month?

55 + 0.08*225 = ?

To find out how much Marissa will pay for one month, we need to calculate the cost of both the monthly plan and the additional cost for the minutes used.

Step 1: Calculate the cost of the monthly plan.
The monthly plan costs $55 per month.

Step 2: Calculate the cost for the minutes used.
Marissa used 225 minutes, and the additional cost per minute is $0.08.
So, the cost for the minutes used is 225 minutes * $0.08 per minute.

Step 3: Add the cost of the monthly plan to the cost for the minutes used.
The total cost for one month is the cost of the monthly plan plus the cost for the minutes used.

Let's calculate it:
Cost of the monthly plan = $55
Cost for the minutes used = 225 minutes * $0.08 per minute

Total cost for one month = Cost of the monthly plan + Cost for the minutes used

Total cost for one month = $55 + (225 minutes * $0.08 per minute)

Total cost for one month = $55 + $18

Total cost for one month = $73

So, Marissa will pay $73 for one month.
