Assume that fractional values of a GB are prorated according to this rate. If a user uses more than 15 GB of data during their monthly billing cycle, then they are not charged more than the cost for the first 15 GB. Write a piecewise-defined function that describes the amount a cell phone user will pay, C, as a function of the number of GB of data they use, d, over the course of a month. (You may enter the intervals using either interval notation or as an inequality. Do not include the dollar sign in any of your answers.)
