Question

Your cell phone plan costs $34.99 per month plus $0.15 for each text message you send or receive. You have at most $41 to spend on your cell phone bill. What is the maximum number of text messages that you can send or receive next month?​

Answer 1

Answer: 40 text messages

Explanation:

You have a total of $41 and you already used 34.99 for the cell phone plan meaning you only have $6.01 left to spend on text messages.

Each text message cost $.15

Divide 6.01 by .15 to see how many texts you can send

When you divide this, you get 40.06.

Since you can't spend or receive .06 of text, you maximum texts you can send or receive is 40.
