For her cellular phone service, vera pays 32 a month + 0.75 for each minute over the allowed minutes in her plan vera received a bill for 47 last month for how many minutes did she use her phone beyond the allowed minutes

To calculate this, we first substract the 32 from 47

47 - 32 = 15

She paid 15$ more than she would have for her cellular phone service.

To get the amount of minutes she was on her phone we simply divide 15$ by 0.75$

15 / 0.75 = 20

She was on her phone for an additional 20 minutes this month. :)
