Your cell phone company started a rewards club. For every three texts sent, you get 15 points. You need 1800 points for a prize. How many texts do you need to send to get that prize?

Answer 1

For every 3 texts sent, you receive 15 points. Therefore, we can set up a proportion:

3 texts = 15 points
x texts = 1800 points

To find the value of x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:

3 * 1800 = 15 * x

5400 = 15x

Dividing both sides by 15:

x = 360

Therefore, you need to send 360 texts to accumulate 1800 points and receive the prize.
