In the equation \( C = 59 + 15(g - 5) \), the value \( 15 \) represents the overage charge per gigabyte for data usage that exceeds the 5 gigabytes included in the plan. This means that for every gigabyte of data used beyond the initial 5 gigabytes, an additional charge of $15 is added to the base fee of $59.
A smart phone plan has a monthly base fee that includes 5 gigabytes of data. An overage charge is applied when the data usage exceed 5 gigabytes. The equation C = 59 + 15(g − 5) models the plan, where C represents the monthly cost, in dollars, and g represents the total number of gigabytes used for the month. What does the value 15 represent in the equation?
