A collect call costs $5.99 to connect plus 99 cents per minute. What is the cost of a 6 minute call?​

Answer :

Answer:

$11.93

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation to represent this scenario, where x is the number of minutes spent on the call and y is the total cost of the call.

[tex]y=0.99x + 5.99[/tex]

Plug in 6 for x:

[tex]y=0.99(6)+5.99[/tex]

Multiply 6 x 0.99, representing the fact it costs 99 cents per each minute spent on the call:

[tex]y=5.94+5.99[/tex]

Add the sum of the $5.99 cost to connect the call, plus the charge ($5.94) for spending six minutes:

[tex]y=11.93[/tex]

Your answer is $11.93!
