Hello Class,      

                  The location of an advertised mobile plan that  follows limited minutes was a daunting task since the majority of  programs have unlimited minutes. I discovered Ting Mobile after my  investigation. The telecommunication company offers a tiered strategy  that is based on the talk minutes used. Ting states that the costs of call rates for customers who use more than 2100 minutes every month will  be $35.00 and an additional 1.9 cents for every extra minute (“Ting  Rates, “2019). In this regard, the formula below can help to determine  monthly costs for customers.

C = FILLER TEXT -2100)

In this formula, C = Total monthly cost, FILLER TEXT = minutes used, 2100 = Company’s threshold

                  Consider a hypothetical situation for a  businessman customer who makes frequent phone calls that accumulated to  3005 minutes in that month. I would easily apply the formula to  determine the cost the customer would pay for call services.

C = b + 0.19 (t -2100)

C=35+ .19(3005-2100)

C=35+ .19(905)

C=35+171.95

C=206.95 (Amount the customer paid)

                  Since the customer is a business person and an  economist to some level, he would opt for a cheaper option that charges $  15.00 monthly for every 250 minutes and an additional 0. 16 per minute  that exceeds 250. In this regard, the formula becomes C = 15.00 + 0.16 (t – 250). The monthly costs for 300, 1000 and 2,000 minutes using this formula are;

   

t = 300

t= 1000

t= 2000

 

C=15.00+ .16(300-250)

   =15.00+ .15(50)

   =15.00+ 7.50

   =22.50

C=15.00+ .16(1000-250)

   =15.00+ .15(750)

   =15.00+ 112.50

   =127.50

C=15.00+ .16(2000-250)

   =15.00+ .15(1750)

   =15.00+ 262.50

   =277.50

Hi XXXXX,

The piecewise function would be

C = b + 0.19 (t -2100) if t>2100

C= b if t ?2100

Thanks,

Professor XXXXX

Greetings Classmates!

Great Call Wireless is a senior  wireless company that sells plans and phones tailored specifically with  seniors in mind. They even offer safety services such as s 1-button help  emergency response. I have changed the figures so that a monthly plan  starts at 250 minutes for $9.99 up to unlimited talk text and data for  $55.99 with a $0.15 charge for each additional minute over the selected  plan allotment of minutes represented in the table below. 

   

Monthly Minutes

Monthly Cost

 

250 minutes

$9.99

 

1000 Minutes

$15.99

 

2500 Minutes

$25.99

 

Unlimited Talk & Text

$35.99

 

Unlimited Talk Text & Data

$55.99

 

Overage Cost Per Minute

$0.15

The formula for 250 minutes per month is C(t) = 9.99 + .15(t-250)

If 300 minutes were used the formula would be C(250)=9.99+.15(300-250)

If 100 minutes were used the formula would be C(1000)=9.99+.15(100-250)

If 2000 minutes were used the formula would be C(2000)=9.99+.15(2000-250)
