Algebra practice question

A phone plan costs $30 per month plus $0.25 per gigabyte of data used. What is the cost, in dollars, of a month in which 200 gigabytes are used?

Answer: 80

30 + 0.25 × 200 = 30 + 50 = 80.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 50
50 is the data charge alone.
If you answered 230
230 adds 200 to 30, treating each gigabyte as $1.
If you answered 6050
6,050 multiplies (30 + 0.25) by 200.
