To find the correct inequality that represents the amount of text messages \( m \) you can send, we first need to look at the cost of sending \( m \) text messages. Each text message costs $0.15, so the total cost for \( m \) messages is \( 0.15m \).
Since you want to spend no more than $10, we can set up the inequality as follows:
\[
0.15m \leq 10
\]
This means that the total cost of the text messages must be less than or equal to $10.
Looking at the options provided, the correct representation of this inequality is:
**A) \( 0.15m \leq 10 \)**
So the answer is A.
