Your cellphone plan gives you $39.99 per month plus 15 cent for each text message you send or receive . you have at most $45 to spend on your cellphone bill. what is the maximum number of text messages that you can send or receive next month

45.550 is your ans2er

Hi!

We need to know how much money we have to spend besides the $39.99. So subtract.

45-39.99=5.01

Now find how many texts you can send with $5.01.

5.01/0.15=33.36666

But you can't send 0.3666 of a text, so the answer is 33.

Hope this helps! :)
