    Procedures:: Solving Problems Involving Functions

    VIC VINCENT N. VILLAVER
    This document provides an example of using a piecewise function to model a real-life situation involving mobile phone billing charges. It defines a function t(m) to represent the amount paid each month based on the number of text messages m sent. For m ≤ 100, the amount is $300, the base monthly fee. For m > 100, the amount is $300 plus $1 for each message over 100. The document then calculates the bill would be for sending 500 messages in a month, which is $700.
