It cost josiah 9.75 to send 65 text message. how many texts did he sent if he spent 28.20

Answer 1

Answer: 188 messages

Explanation:

We will set up and solve a proportion.

`\displaystyle (9.75)/(65) =(28.2)/(x)`

Now, we will cross-multiply.

9.75 * x = 65 * 28.2

9.75x = 1,833

Lastly, we will divide both sides of the equation by 9.75.

x = 188 messages
