To find out how much it would cost to send 1010 text messages, we first need to determine the cost per text message.
Jose paid $8.70 to send 8787 text messages, so we can calculate the cost per text message as follows:
\[
\text{Cost per text message} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Messages}} = \frac{8.70}{8787}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Cost per text message} \approx 0.00098798 \; \text{(rounded to 8 decimal places)}
\]
Now, to find the total cost of sending 1010 text messages, we multiply the cost per message by the number of messages:
\[
\text{Total Cost for 1010 messages} = \text{Cost per text message} \times 1010 \approx 0.00098798 \times 1010 \approx 0.999 \; \text{(rounded to 3 decimal places)}
\]
Thus, the total cost to send 1010 text messages is approximately **$1.00**.
