Question

Megan owes $30.40

for text messaging in the month of June. If her text messaging plan costs $6
for the first 600
messages and 10¢
for each additional text message, how many text messages did she send that month?

Answer 1

844 text messages

Explanation:

$30.40 - $6 for the plan, including 600 messages = $24.40

So she has $24.40 in additional charges for going over the 600 at .10/message

24.40 ÷ .10 = 244

She used her 600 + 244 over = 844
