Alex calls Rashford who is out of the country. Her cellphone carrier chargers her $1.20 for the first minute of international calls and $0.65 for every minute after. I she has 2 calls or every 9 minutes and another for 12 minutes, how much was she charged?
------------------------------------------------------------------ First Call - 9 mins ------------------------------------------------------------------ First minute = $1.20 8 additional minutes = $0.65 x 8 = $5.20
------------------------------------------------------------------ Second Call - 12 mins ------------------------------------------------------------------ First minute = $1.20 11 additional minutes = $0.65 x 11 = $7.15
------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Charge ------------------------------------------------------------------ $5.20 + $7.15 = $12.25
------------------------------------------------------------------ Answer: She was charged $12.25 -----------------------------------------------------------------
