Answer

R164.50\text{R}164.50

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Calculate the cost of peak time SMS.

    The cost per peak time SMS is 85 cents, which is R0.85.
    Anita sent 45 SMS during peak time.

    Peak time SMS cost=45×R0.85=R38.25\text{Peak time SMS cost} = 45 \times \text{R}0.85 = \text{R}38.25
  2. Calculate the cost of off-peak time SMS.

    The cost per off-peak time SMS is 25 cents, which is R0.25.
    Anita sent 105 SMS during off-peak time.

    Off-peak time SMS cost=105×R0.25=R26.25\text{Off-peak time SMS cost} = 105 \times \text{R}0.25 = \text{R}26.25
  3. Calculate the total monthly bill.

    The total monthly bill is the sum of the monthly contract cost, peak time SMS cost, and off-peak time SMS cost.

    Total monthly bill=R100+R38.25+R26.25\text{Total monthly bill} = \text{R}100 + \text{R}38.25 + \text{R}26.25 Total monthly bill=R164.50\text{Total monthly bill} = \text{R}164.50

    The total monthly bill will be R164.50\text{R}164.50.
