To find the unit cost for each company, we need to calculate the cost per hour of usage.
For Cell City:
The table provides the information that 2.5 hours cost $8. To find the cost per hour, we can divide the total cost by the number of hours: $8 / 2.5 hours = $3.20 per hour.
For Smart Mobile:
The table states that 2 hours cost $2. To find the cost per hour, we can divide the total cost by the number of hours: $2 / 2 hours = $1 per hour.
Then, for the additional 0.5 hours mentioned in the table, the price is $1.75. So, the cost per hour for the additional 0.5 hours is $1.75 / 0.5 hours = $3.50 per hour.
Therefore, the unit cost for Smart Mobile is $3.50 per hour.
In summary:
Cell City: $3.20 per hour
Smart Mobile: $3.50 per hour
