Answer:

34 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Time\ Spent = 6[/tex]

[tex]Phone\ Calls = 40[/tex]

Required

Number of minutes left to spend (x)

Since there's only 1 minute left to spend on every other call;

Time left = x * 1

Time left = x

The required can further be calculated using:

[tex]Time\ Spent + Time\ Left = Phone\ Calls[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]6 + x = 40[/tex]

Subtract 6 from both sides

[tex]x = 40 - 6[/tex]

[tex]x = 34[/tex]

Hence, there are 34 minutes left to spend
