Forget this is a maths question.

Assuming these figures are for one month:

Imagine this is YOUR phone and YOUR phone company sent you a bill for $100. Would YOU pay it or question it?

You made in state calls for 470 min and are charged 0.03 per minute. How much is that?

You made out of state calls for 91 minutes and are charged 0.09 per minute. How much is that?

Add those and the 11.25 monthly fee.
 
You have to pay 3 cents 470 times, 9 cents 91 times and $11.25 1 time. Just add up these numbers!

Hopefully the OP will realize that it would be easier to multiply and add instead of just adding. I was just pointing out that the problem should be doable for anyone.

0.03 times 470 and do 0.09 times 91 and once you have those 2 numbers add them together then add that number to 11.25.
