The monthly cost of a certain long distance service is given by the function C(t) = 0.05t + 7.95 where c(t) is in dollars and t is the amount of minutes used in a month. Find and interpret c(190).

1 answer

To find c(190), we substitute t = 190 into the equation C(t) = 0.05t + 7.95:
C(190) = 0.05(190) + 7.95
C(190) = 9.5 + 7.95
C(190) = 17.45

Therefore, c(190) is $17.45.

This means that if 190 minutes are used in a month, the monthly cost for the long distance service would be $17.45.
