Verified Answer :

Which of the following functions represents a cell phone bill if there is a monthly charge of 20 dollars plus 6 cents for each minute of use?
---------
The 20 is dollars
Change 6 cents to 0.06 dollars
------
Let "x" be # of minutes of use.
----
Equation:

Cost = 20 + 0.06x dollars
Cost = 20.06x dollars

Answer:

\(y=0.06x+20\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Choices are not given.

However, we can deduct a function which represents this situation.

Notice that there's a constant charge of $20, and 6 cents per minute. Let's call @@MATH_TOKEN_1@@ minutes and @@MATH_TOKEN_2@@ the total money spent. The expression would be

@@MATH_TOKEN_3@@

Remember that 6 cents are expressed as 0.06, and the constant term 20 represents $20 of constant charge.
