Question

Nina’s cell phone provider charges $29.95 per month plus $0.02 for each text Nina sends.

Part A: Write an equation to model this situation.

Part B: What will Nina’s bill for March be if she sends 150 texts that month?

Answer 1

Your equation would be 29.95+(0.02x50) the answer would be 32.95.

Explanation since this is money 0.02 would have to be multiplied by 50 to get 1 dollar so 150x2 equals 300 and 300 cents in dollars is 3 dollars because every dollar is equivalent to 100 cents
