Please help me understand how to do this!
Ms. Callahan works hard to budget and predict her costs for each month. She is currently attempting to determine how much her cell phone company will likely charge her for the month. She is paying a flat fee of $80 a month for a plan that allows for unlimited calls but costs her an additional twenty cents per text message.

Write a function, c(t), for Ms. Callahan's current cell plan that will calculate the cost for the month based on the number of text messages she makes.

Use this function to find c(20).
