It cost Arturo $12.54 to send 114 text messages. What is the cost of sending text messages, in dollars per text?

1 answer

To find the cost of sending one text message, divide the total cost by the number of text messages sent.

The total cost is $12.54 and the total number of text messages is 114.

\[ \text{Cost per text} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Text Messages}} = \frac{12.54}{114} \]

Now, let's perform the division:

\[ \frac{12.54}{114} \approx 0.11052631578947368 \]

Rounding to two decimal places, the cost per text message is:

\[ \approx 0.11 \]

Therefore, the cost of sending text messages is approximately $0.11 per text.
