A long-distance telephone company charges a rate of cents per minute or a -cent minimum charge per completed call, whichever is greater. Find the cost, in cents per minute, for a -minute call.

50 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Company charges 8 cents per call and the call in question is 3 minutes. Cost is;

= 3 * 8

= 24 cents

Company however stipulates that a call is 8 cents per minute or a 50-cent minimum charge per completed call, whichever is greater.

50 cents is greater than the per minute total charge of 24 cents so the cost will be 50 cents.
