Question
For communication, Sonia uses a satellite phone that costs ₹10.25 per minute. If she talks to Mission Control for 15.6 minutes each day, how much will her total communication cost be for the entire mission?
Solution
To calculate the total communication cost for the entire mission, we need to follow these steps:
-
First, calculate the cost of communication per day. This is done by multiplying the cost per minute (₹10.25) by the number of minutes she talks each day (15.6 minutes).
-
Then, to find the total cost for the entire mission, multiply the daily cost by the number of days in the mission.
However, the question does not provide the number of days the mission lasts, so we can only calculate the daily cost.
Let's calculate:
₹10.25 per minute * 15.6 minutes = ₹159.9 per day
So, Sonia's communication cost is ₹159.9 per day. To find the total cost for the entire mission, we would need to know the number of days the mission lasts.
