Answer: Cost per gb of data = y = $5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial fee be 'x'.
Let the fees depending on the amount of data he use be 'y'.
After using 3 GB of data , he owes $30.
After using 5 GB of data , he owes $40.
According to question, our equations would be
[tex]x+3y=\$30--------(1)\\\\x+5y=\$40------(2)[/tex]
So, Using elimination method , we get that
[tex]x+3y=\$30\\\\x+5y=\$40\\\\----------------------------------------\\\\-2y=-10\\\\y=\dfrac{10}{2}\\\\y=\$5[/tex]
Hence, Cost per gb of data = y = $5.
