Answer: carman used 80

Explanation:

half of 400 (the amount of texts per month) is 200, so then you subtract 200 - 120 ( the amount of messages javier and sergio used) that equals 80 so the amount of messages carman used was 80

Ok half of 400 is 200 so 400-200=200. And so 200-120=80 and since Carmen used all the messages after that, Carmen used 80 messages.
