Salmon:
OK so the first thing you can use is the process of elimination
Salmon:
Could you answer the questions that I ask you Please
angiesyl:
mk
Salmon:
In the first half of the equation you can see 25 + .05......does the 0.05 represent dollars or cents?
angiesyl:
idk
angiesyl:
oh cents mb
Salmon:
It is ok... If we are using process of elimination then anything that has dollars and shows that the customer is paying per minute in DOLLARS you should immediately know what?
angiesyl:
tha cents dont belong..?
Salmon:
No that dollars Dont belong because we said that the first company charges what per minute?
angiesyl:
ooohh
angiesyl:
ight
Salmon:
Ok now that you have 2 answers crossed off you can look at the 2 left and realize that in the Second half of the equation it states that there is a flat fee of $50 off the bat and How much do they charge per minute?
angiesyl:
tbh idk
angiesyl:
i need the answer lmaoo
Eiwoh2:
That's what she's guiding you to get. Step by step. :)
angiesyl:
lmao ik
Salmon:
minutes are x and the amount per minute would be the number in front of that.....How much does the second company charge per minute?
Salmon:
The second half of the equation is what we are looking at it represents the second company
angiesyl:
im so confused lmao
Salmon:
Ok so we are looking at the second half of the equation which represents the second company ok?
angiesyl:
mk
Salmon:
The whole number is the flat fee the beginning cost for the phone which is what?
angiesyl:
50?
angiesyl:
bro im so dumb
Eiwoh2:
Naw, you just need a little help. We appreciate your guesses!
angiesyl:
T.T
Salmon:
Yes it is 50
Salmon:
so now we know what the flat fee is....lets look at the amount owed per minute.
angiesyl:
i just guessed loll
Eiwoh2:
Great educated guess 👀
Eiwoh2:
Don't put yourself down, you'll learn. ^^
Salmon:
it was a good guess and correct. to remember that kind of thing you should start looking at the whole numbers the number that does not have a variable next to it will be the flat fee.
angiesyl:
ight
Salmon:
and the number that has the variable next to it will be the amount owed per minute remember we are looking at 3 choices here...A, B, and D
Salmon:
Can you tell me what the amount owed per minute is for the second company? (Hint it is the number that has x with it)
angiesyl:
.05
Salmon:
Good Guess but remember this is the Second half of the equation
angiesyl:
im so confused
Salmon:
ok the equation is split into 2 parts got it?
Salmon:
Part A is the First Company and Part B is the Second company. ok?
angiesyl:
mk
Salmon:
Now we are trying to find the cost for the minutes used which is x
Salmon:
In the SECOND HALF what is the number associated with x?
angiesyl:
wdym by second half
Salmon:
After the equal sign
angiesyl:
ohh
Salmon:
ok wo what is the number that is beside x?
Salmon:
*so
angiesyl:
.01
Salmon:
yes so can the answer be B?
angiesyl:
no
Salmon:
Excellent
angiesyl:
oh wait so it D..?
Salmon:
Now look at the choices again we said it can't be B and it can't be C
Salmon:
knowing that the company 2 charges 1 cent per minute we can look at A and do what?
Salmon:
Company 2 charges 50 for flat fee and 1 cent per minute
angiesyl:
ok
Salmon:
what is wrong with A?
Salmon:
Since we said that company 1 charges 1 cent per minute and 50 flat what can we see is incorrect in A
Salmon:
Sorry company 2
angiesyl:
so the answers is d
Salmon:
There you go!
Salmon:
Great Job that is why dont give up....you got this!
