A cell phone company has a tiered pricing structure for its talk time. For the first 30 minutes, the company charges c1=0.4t1+10 dollars, where t1 is the number of minutes up to 30. Beyond 30 minutes, the price per minute decreases, and the additional cost is calculated using the equation c2​=0.3(t2​−30) dollars, where t2​ is the total number of minutes used. If a customer uses the service for 40 minutes, what is the total charge?
