Each year, a cyber café charges a base rate of \( \$25\) to its customers, plus \(\$0.30\) per visit for the first 50 visits, and \(\$0.10\) for every visit after that. How much does the cyber café charge a customer for a year in which 72 visits are made?
Explanation
Translate the information into arithmetic. The café charges\( \$25 + \$0.30( \text { first }50) + \$0.10\) (additional after 50). For 72 visits, that is 50 visits plus 22 additional.
\(\$25 + \$0.30(50) + \$0.10(22) = \$25 +\$15 + \$2.20 = \$42.20\)
