Answer 1

Hint: If you paid a total of $375, and the installation fee was $50, how much of that $375 payment went to covering the monthly phone charges?

Divide that result by $25 (why?).

Answer 2

375-50 of installation = 325 <- this is her phone bill
Phone bill/$25 monthly= # of months
325/$25= 13 months
That's how I got my answer!

Answer 3

Let y = total cost
let x = number of months
50 installation fee

375 = 25x + 50
