Answer:
Jorge was charged for 10 hours that month
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Jorge’s monthly bill from his Internet service provider was $25.
Also given : The service provider charges a base rate of $15 per month plus $1 for each hour that the service is used
We have to find the number of hours that Jorge was charged for that month.
Let the number of hour be x,
Total bill = base rate + 1 (number of hours used)
Total bill = base rate + 1(x)
Substitute the values, we get,
⇒ 25 = 15 + 1 (x)
Solving we get,
⇒ 25 - 15 = x
10 = x
Thus, Jorge was charged for 10 hours that month
Answer:
Option C is correct!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of hours used by Jorge.
for 1 hour the cost = $1
for x hours the cost will be = 1(x ) = x
Base rate = $15
so total monthly payment = Base rate + hour payment
= 15 +x
total monthly payment = 25
therefore
15+x = 25
x = 10
Jorge was charged for 10 hours in that month.
