Question

A phone company charges $25.00 flat fee per month plus an additional $0.15 per text. If your bill was $34.00, approximately how many text did you have that month?

Answer 1

60 text

Explanation:

Let the number of text sent be
`x`.

Given:

Fee charged per month = $ 25.00

Fee charged per text = $ 0.15

Therefore, fee charge for
`x` text =
`0.15* x=0.15x`.

Total cost for a given month =
`25+0.15x`.

Now, if for a given month, the total cost is $ 34. Then,

`25+0.15x=34\\ 0.15x=34-25\\0.15x=9\\x=(9)/(0.15)=60`

Therefore, the number of text sent for a monthly bill of $ 34 is 60.
