Question

If you pay .80 for every 20 text message sent. how much is cost per message?

Answer 1

$0.04

Explanation:

From our question, we have the following information:

• 20 text messages sent,
• $0.80 for the 20 messages sent,
• cost per text is required.

To calculate the cost to send each text,

`cost \: per \: text \: = (cost \: of \: total \: number \: of \: text)/(total \: number \: of \: text)`

Hence,

`cost \: = (0.80)/(20) \\ = 0.04`

Therefore, the cost of sending one text message is $0.04.

Answer 2

To find how much is the cost per message, divide the amount of money by the messages sent, this is 0.80 divided by 20.

`(0.80)/(20)=0.04`

The cost per message is $0.04.
