Laila purchased a prepaid phone card for $25 . Long distance calls cost 24 cents a minute using this card. Laila used her card only once to make a long distance call. If the remaining credit on her card is $13.72 , how many minutes did her call last?

The call lasted for 47 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Value of prepaid card = $25

Cost per minute of long distance call = 24 cents = $0.24

Remaining credit = $13.72

Let,

x be the number of minutes

y be the remaining amount

y = 25 - 0.24x

13.72 = 25 - 0.24x

0.24x = 25 - 13.72

0.24x = 11.28

Dividing both sides by 0.24

Therefore,

The call lasted for 47 minutes.

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
