Afamily of 3 shares the minutes on a cell phone plan. suppose the plan allows for 675 minutes per month. how many minuets are left each person uses exactly 250 minutes.

Let's come up with variables to substitute and make an equation.

T = total number of minutes
P = number of minutes used by each person in the phone plan
R = remaining minutes per month

R=T-3P

Now that we have an equation, we can substitute the numbers we are given in the problem to find the final solution.

R= 675- 3(250)
R= 675- 750
R= -75 minutes

There are no remaining minutes, and in fact, the people on the phone plan have used 75 extra minutes than provided for in their phone plan.
