82.50 + 0.025x = 120.75
or, 0.025x = 38.25
or, x = 38250/25 = 1530 minutes
Therefore, 1530/60 = 25.50 minutes.

Hence, E is the answer

icandoit4u · Answer

Ans = E 
 Total amount = fixed price + 0.025*min  
 120.75 = 82.50 + 0.025*min  
 38.25/0.025 = 1530 min = 1530/60 = 25.5 hours

TheAdmissionHub · Answer

Let m be the number of minutes.

Since we know the fixed charge, the variable charge, and the total, we can set up the following equation:  120.75=82.50+m*0.025

We can find m:  m=\frac{120.75-82.50}{0.025}  =1530   min (decimals can be turned into fractions to simplify calculations)

By dividing by 60, we can find the number of hours:  \frac{1530}{60 } =25.5  hours

Answer: E

120.75-82.50:-38.25, for data 38.25/0.025:-38*1000/25:-38*40:-1530
now convert this into hrs
1530/60:-25.5 so ans is E
