Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose the number of hours that Jorge was charged for that month was x hours.

Now, service provider charges $1 for each hour that the service is used.

Thus, amount for using x hours should be 1x = $x

now, the base rate is $15 per month. Hence, total cost should be x + 15

Now, it has been given that Jorge’s monthly bill from his Internet service provider was $25.

Therefore, we have the equation

x + 15 = 25

Subtract 15 to both sides

x = 25 - 15

x = 10

Thus, Jorge was charged for 10 hours.
