Juan's cell phone company charges $35 a month for phone service with limited data. For every gigabyte of data average, the company charges $15. Write an equation that represents how many gigabytes juan goes over in a month if his bill was $110, then solve
Is it 35+15×=110
15×=75
×=5?
To write an equation representing how many gigabytes Juan goes over in a month, we need to consider the monthly fee for phone service with limited data and the additional charge per gigabyte.
Let's assume that Juan's bill consists of the monthly fee plus the charge for the extra data.
Let "x" represent the number of gigabytes Juan goes over his limit. Since each gigabyte is charged at $15, the additional charge for the data is 15x.
The equation can be written as follows:
35 + 15x = 110
To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x by performing algebraic operations.
Subtract 35 from both sides of the equation:
15x = 110 - 35
Simplify:
15x = 75
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 15:
x = 75 / 15
Simplify:
x = 5
Therefore, Juan goes over his limit by 5 gigabytes in a month.
