I am completely stuck on this task and need help
A fictional phone company offers a plan where you get 80MB free per month, if you use more than 80 you pay 5$ per MB
What is the price you pay if you use 115MB?
Problem: The book claims its 2.83$, how?

The book is wrong, in that case.
Simple math.
115 (actual used data) - 80 (phone plan) = 35 extra MB
35 x 5 = $175

That book's not right... at all. I don't see how it could even have cents as it's in lots of $5.

So I did the math, this came out.
115 (used MB)-80 (Phone plan) = 35
so if we multiply it for only 2, it = $70, but if we multiply it by $2.83 it gives us: $99.05
