Question

) January's cell phone bill cost $68. If your monthly rate is $44 and it cost $0.25 per text, write an equation to find

the number of texts sent in January. Then, determine the number of texts sent in January

AFTER YOU ARE DONE PLS SHOW YOUR WORK AND A COMPLETE SENTENCE TO PROVE IT!

Answer 1

Equation is 0.25x+44 = 68

96 texts were sent in January

===================================================

Work Shown:

x = number of text messages

0.25x = cost of all those text messages before the $44

0.25x+44 = cost after adding the extra $44

0.25x+44 = 68 is the equation to set up

Let's solve for x

0.25x+44 = 68

0.25x = 68-44

0.25x = 24

x = 24/0.25

x = 96 texts were sent in January
