It cost Fawzia $12.00 to send 80 text messages. How many text messages did she send if she spent $19.95?

1 answer

We can start by finding out how much it cost Fawzia per text message.

Cost per text message = Total cost ÷ Number of text messages

Cost per text message = $12.00 ÷ 80 = $0.15

Now we can use this information to find out how many text messages Fawzia sent for $19.95.

Number of text messages = Total cost ÷ Cost per text message

Number of text messages = $19.95 ÷ $0.15 = 133

Therefore, Fawzia sent 133 text messages if she spent $19.95.
