Question

Your cell phone plan costs $34.99 per month plus $0.15 for each text message you send or receive. You have at most $40 to spend on your cell phone bill. what is the maximum number of text messages that you can send or receive next month?

Answer 1

33 texts

Explanation:

34.99+0.15(t)=40

lets say t is number of texts

subtract 34.99 from both sides

0.15(t)=$5.01

divide 5.01 by .15

33.4

but you cant send .4 of a text

so 33 texts
