    Lina spent 28 minutes on the call.

    Explanation:

    let n be the number of minutes lina made a call

    then:

    cost of long distance call is 16 cents/min = 0.16 dollars/min

    number of dollars spent on the long distance call = 0.16n

    if the total dollars of the phone card is $15 and the remaining dollars after the call is $10.52, this implies that:

    $15 = $10.52 + (0.16n) $

    n = (15 - 10.52) / 0.16

    = 28

    Therefore, lina spent 28 minutes on the call.
