Question

Jessica's cell phone charges her a monthly fee plus a charge for each message she sends. How much does Jessica pay for each text message? Show work

Number of text messages[50] Cost{$35.00}

Number of text messages[75] Cost[$35.75]

Answer 1

What you need to do first is solve for the message cost. So to do that do 75-50=25 (because that's the difference cost between them both)

25, which as I explained, is the difference between those numbers that give us the cost difference. 75 cents.

75/25, meaning the extra cost and the text message difference. That equals 3.

3 cents per message.

The monthly fee is 50*3=150, and 150 is the equal of the 50 text messages. Don't forget we are using cents. So its a $1.50

$35-$1.5=X. X is the monthly fee
