The cost for extra minutes is $8\times24$.
$8\times24 = 192$

Add the base - plan cost of $45$ to the cost of extra minutes.
$45+192=237$

The cost for $x$ extra minutes is $8x$. Add the base - plan cost of $45$.
The total cost is $45 + 8x$.

Total cost when over by 24 minutes: $237$
Total cost when over by $x$ minutes: $45 + 8x$
