Question

your cellphone plan gives you $39.99 per month plus 15 cent for each text message you send or receive . you have at most $45 to spend on your cellphone bill. what is the maximum number of text messages that you can send or receive next month

Answer 1

Hi!

We need to know how much money we have to spend besides the $39.99. So subtract.

45-39.99=5.01

Now find how many texts you can send with $5.01.

5.01/0.15=33.36666

But you can't send 0.3666 of a text, so the answer is 33.

Hope this helps! :)
