Response: $51.00

Detailed explanation:

The charge is $0.20 every minute, therefore the cost for 300 minutes is:

300 x 0.20 = $60

Her monthly cell phone plan includes a standard fee of $25.00, so the total charge is:

$60 + $25

= $85

A 40% discount applies, resulting in:

40% of $85

= $34

Thus, her first cell phone bill amounts to = $85 - $34

= $51.00
