Journal Assignment Two-Step Equations

Name: Desire Ramos
T-mobile charges $34.99 a month for phone service. They also charge $0.48 per minute for long distance calls. If Joshua's bill was $64.75, how many minutes of long distance calls did she make?

Part A - Write an equation that can be used to solve the problem.

Equation: $64.75 = $34.99 + $0.48m

Part B - Solve your equation and answer the question in a complete

sentence.

($64.75 - $34.99) ÷ $0.48

($29.76) ÷ $0.48

62

I got my answer by first subtracting $34.99 from $64.75. My answer was $29.76. Next, I divided $0.48 into $29.76. The quotient was 62. My answer was 62 minutes or 1 hour and 2 minutes.
