QUESTION

1-determine the fomular that can be used to calculate the total costs per month (excluding the phone for deal 1) for the THREE DEALS.

Answer 1

Let $X$ be those minutes we will use for a month and $n$(1, 2, or 3) is number deal, so the fomula is

$$TotalCost =50 + (n-2)(n-3)[ X*2 ]/2 -$$ $$- (n-1)(n-3)[250 + 2.50max(0, X-24*50)]+$$ $$+(n-1)(n-2)[400+1.50max(0, X-24*120)]/2$$

If Deal 1 $(n=1)$ : $Total_1 =R50 + (n-2)(n-3)[ X*R2 ];$

If Deal 2 $(n=2):Total_2=R50$ $+R250 + R2.50*max(0, X-24*R50)];$

If Deal 3 $(n=3):Total_3=R50+$$R400+R1.50*max(0, X-24*120);$
