Mobile Plan Cost
1. Let's understand the problem: We have a Plan A which has a fixed monthly fee of 50 plus a cost of 0.70 per minute used, where $m$ is the number of minutes.
2. The total cost $C$ can be expressed as the sum of the fixed fee and the cost per minute multiplied by the number of minutes: $$C = 50 + 0.70m$$
3. We need to find the equation that models the cost after 100 minutes, so substitute $m = 100$: $$C = 50 + 0.70 \times 100$$
4. Calculate the cost: $$C = 50 + 70 = 120$$
5. From the options given:
- A. $C = 70 + 50m$ (incorrect order and values)
- B. $C = 0.70 + 50$ (ignores minutes)
- C. $C = 50 + 70m$ (incorrect multiplication by 70 instead of 0.70)
- D. $C = 50 + 0.70(100)$ (correct for 100 minutes)
Therefore, the correct equation modeling the cost after 100 minutes is option D.
Final answer: $C = 50 + 0.70(100)$
