Question

Your cell phone company has a reward club. For every three texts you send you get 20 points. You need 1800 point for a prize. How many texts do you need to send to get a prize

Answer 1

Answer: 270

Explanation:

Given: For every three texts you send you get 20 points.

Let x be the number of text need to send to score 1800 points.

Also the number of points is directly proportional to the number of texts,

Therefore,

`(3)/(20)=(x)/(1800)\\\Rightarrow\ x=(1800*3)/(20)\\\Rightarrow\ x=270`

Hence, we need to send 270 texts to get the prize.
