A cellular phone company charges $67.95 per month for a service plan that includes 6 GB of data. In addition to the basic monthly rate, the company charges $8.95 for each additional GB of data over 6 GB. A customer on this plan receives a bill for $148.50. How much data did this customer send and receive during the month?

The customer send and receive 15 GB of data during the month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Monthly charge for 6 GB of data = $67.95

Additional charge for each additional GB of data over 6 GB = $8.95

Bill received by the customer = $148.50

Therefore, we have:

Total amount paid for additional GB of data over 6 GB = Bill received by the customer - Monthly charge for 6 GB of data = $148.50 - $67.95 = $80.55

Additional GB of data over 6 GB = Total amount paid for additional GB of data over 6 GB / Additional charge for each additional GB of data over 6 GB = $80.55 / $8.95 = 9 GB

Total data customer send and receive during the month = 6 GB + Additional GB of data over 6 GB = 6 GB + 9 GB = 15 GB

Therefore, the customer send and receive 15 GB of data during the month.
