Suppose that the monthly cost C(t) of a cell phone plane is linear function of the number of minutes t used and satisfies C(0)= $60.00 and C(400)=$70.00.

(A) find the Increase in cost per minute used

(B) Find a formula of the monthly cost C(t)

(C) Find the Cost of a monthly bill if t=1000 minutes have been used.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The increase from $60 to $70 for 400 minutes is an increase of ...

  $10/(400 minutes) = $0.025/minute

__

(B) The monthly cost will be the cost for zero minutes plus the per-minute cost multiplied by the number of minutes:

  C(t) = 60 +0.025t

__

(C) The cost for 1000 minutes is ...

  C(1000) = 60 +0.025·1000 = 85

The monthly bill is $85 if 1000 minutes have been used.
