I need your help with this problem. it seems easy, but I'm stuck.
The base rate for a phone bill for a married couple is 82,00 dollars per month. Each member paid 1/2 of the bill plus their data usage. The total bill for the month was 125,00 dollars.
How much does each person have to pay if 60% of the data was used up by the man.
This is my try:
Let A be the woman,
Let B be the man.
The basic rate that the couple pays per month is 82.00, so if A and B both pay half of the bill, each one pays 41 dollars + their data usage.
So
if the total bill for the month was $125 I minus what they pay every month which is 82.
125-82 = 43
43 dollars more were paid this month
could you help continue ?????.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help!!
