To determine the number of text messages Deion can send for $17.40 based on the cost of sending 9,191 text messages for $13.65, we first need to calculate the cost per text message.
1. **Calculate cost per text message:**
\[
\text{Cost per text message} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Messages}} = \frac{13.65}{9191}
\]
Now, perform the division:
\[
\text{Cost per text message} \approx 0.001484
\]
2. **Now, determine how many text messages can be sent for $17.40:**
\[
\text{Number of messages} = \frac{\text{Total amount spent}}{\text{Cost per text message}} = \frac{17.40}{0.001484}
\]
Now perform the division:
\[
\text{Number of messages} \approx 11766
\]
Thus, Deion can send approximately **11,766 text messages** for $17.40.
