Your cell phone plan costs $34.99 per month plus $0.15 for each text message you send or receive. You have at most $39 to spend on your cell phone bill. What is the maximum number of text messages that you can send or receive next month

39-34.99=4.01 and 4.01/0.15=26.7 but bc you can't send a fraction of a text, the maximum that you can send or receive is 26
