We have the function that models the credit C left on the card:
[tex]C(x)\text{ = 40.25 -0.09x}[/tex]x is the total of mins of calls.
If Alan calls for 15 mins, we have to find the left on the card.
So x = 15 because is the amount of mins.
Replace and solve:
[tex]C(x)\text{ = 40.25-0.09(15)}[/tex][tex]C(x)\text{ = 40.25-1.35}[/tex][tex]C(x)\text{ = 38.9}[/tex]So, $38.9 is the amount of credit left on the card.
