Question

In June 2012, Twitter was reporting 400 million tweets per day. Each tweet can consist of up to 140 characters (letter, numbers, etc.). Imagine each character in the tweet cost a penny. A) How much would one tweet cost? Why? Write out your reasoning in words and support with calculations.

Answer 1

Each tweet would cost between 1 and 140 pennies you can write that as an inequality [1 ≤ x ≤ 140] Since you can't tweet 0 characters or above 140.

if you want to change it to pounds divide by 100.

A) 1 ≤ x ≤ 140

B) Each character costs a penny, you can't tweet less than 1 character or above 140.
