    Correct cost for the cell phone monthly plan = 54.2$

    Explanation:

    Price for monthly plan = 58.95$

    Discount = 4.75 $

    New cost found out by Sam = 11.45$

    Discount considered by Sam = 58.95 - 11.45 = 47.5$

    So, Instead of considering discount amount of 4.75$ Sam accidentally considered 47.5$, so he got 11.45$ as new cost for the cell phone plan.

    Actual cost = 58.95 - 4.75 = 54.2$

    Correct cost for the cell phone monthly plan = 54.2$
