The equation of the cell phone plan is y = 70 + 4x and the number of gigabyte is 1.10

The given parameters are:

Flat = $70 per month

Rate = $4 per gigabyte

Let the number of gigabyte be x, and the total cost be y.

So, we have:

y = Flat + Rate * x

So, we have:

y = 70 + 4x

When the bill is $74.40, we have:

74.40 = 70 + 4x

Subtract 70 from both sides

4x = 4.40

Divide both sides by 4

x = 1.10

Hence, the equation is y = 70 + 4x and the number of gigabyte is 1.10
