Tom purchased international calling cards before traveling abroad. He bought a 60-minute card for $9.99, a 90-minute card for $14.29, a 100-minute card for $17.99, and a 200-minute card for $29.49. After using all of his calling cards, Tom used his mobile phone for 38 minutes at a rate of $2.99/minute.

Respuesta :

The amount spent on calls per minute is an illustration of unit rates.

The amount spent on the 38-minute call is $113.62

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{Rate = \$2.99/minute}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Time = 38\ minutes}\\[/tex]

So, the amount spent on call is:

[tex]\mathbf{Amount = Rate \times Time}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{Amount = \$2.99/minute \times 38\ minutes}[/tex]

Cancel out minutes

[tex]\mathbf{Amount = \$2.99 \times 38}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Amount = \$113.62}[/tex]

Hence, the amount spent on the 38-minute call is $113.62
