It would cost $25 for 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost for x minutes of call is y, and it is given by the following equation:

y = 0.5x + 15

How much would it cost for 20 minutes?

This means that we have to replace x for 20.

y = 0.5*20 + 15 = 10 + 15 = 25

It would cost $25 for 20 minutes.
