On the Discount Phoneline, Support any domestic long-distance call starting between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. costs 15 cents a minute, Support and any other domestic long-distance call costs 10 cents a minute. ββ βββ ββββββββ βββββββββββββ ββββ ββ βββ ββββββββ βββββββββ ββββ ββββ βββ ββββ ββ βββββ β ββββββ βββββ ββ βββββ β βββββββ
The argument proceeds by taking a contrapositive in order to link sufficient conditions together. If a domestic long-distance call is made during business hours, it costs 15 cents per minute; those made outside of business hours cost 10. By taking the contrapositive of the second rule, the author infers that any long distance call that does not cost 10 cents per minute must take place during business hours, which leads to the conclusion that such a call costs 15 cents per minute.
