A phone company charges $25 per month, plus an installation fee of $50. If you have paid the phone company $375, how many months have you had the phone?

Verified Answer :

The installation fee is a one time thing so you do 375-50. and then you do 325/25 to get 13 so the answer is 13 months

Set up a formula.
50+25x=375.
Step 1: Subtract 50.
25x=325
Step 2: divide 325 by 50.
The answer is 13 months.
