Question

A cell phone company charges a monthly fee plus $0.25 for each text message. The monthly fee is $30.00 and you owe $59.50. How many text messages did you have?

Answer 1

you sent 118 texts that month

Answer 2

X=text messages

0.25x + 30.00 = 59.50

-30.00 -30.00

0.25x = 29.50

divide 0.25 in both sides

x= 118
