Question

Your cel phone plan cost $24.99 per month plus $0.13 for each text message you sent or received. You have at most $28 to spend on your cell phone bill. What is the maximum number of your text messages that you can send or receive next month?

Answer 1

Answer:

23 messeges

Step-by-step explanation:

• Subtract $24.99 from $28

28-24.99= 3.01

• Divide $3.01 by $0.13
• 3.01÷0.13 = 23.15384615
• However, you can't receive or send 23 and 2 tenths of a messege so you only take 23
• In such questions, never round up because only the full amount is required.
• Simply write the number (s) before the decimal point
