Answer:

$140.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent dialed units.

We have been given that a quarterly telephone bill consist of $79.15 rental plus 4.7 cents for each dialed unit.

4.7 cents = $0.047

Cost of dialing x units would be @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@.

Total cost of dialing x units would be @@MATH_TOKEN_1@@.

Let us find cost of dialing 915 units by substituting @@MATH_TOKEN_2@@ in above expression.

@@MATH_TOKEN_3@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_4@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_5@@

Now, we will find 15% of sales tax as:

@@MATH_TOKEN_6@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_7@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_8@@

Total bill: @@MATH_TOKEN_9@@

Therefore, Mrs. Jonas's bill would be $140.48.
