Answer:

$22.45 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Fred's family will pay for cell service for 5 phones at a regular monthly rate of c dollars for each phone. They will also receive a discount of $50. The first month's payment will be $62.25. This equation represents the situation.

5c

−

50

=

62.25

monthly cost of cell service for 5 phones

one-time discount

first month's payment

Now, solve the equation for c.

5c–50

= 62.25

5c

= 112.25 Add 50 to both sides

c

= 22.45 Divide both sides by 5

The regular monthly rate for each phone is $22.45.
