your cell phone plan costs 29.99 per month plus 0.14 for each text message you send or recieve. You have at most $35 to spend on your cell phone bill. What is the maxinum number of text messages that you can send or recieve next month?

Answer 1

The first thing you need to do is work out how much money is left for text messages after your monthly plan is paid.

$$35 - 29.99 = 5.01$$

Next, you need to calculate how many text messages you could get with $5.01 at a cost of $0.14 per text.

$$5.01 / 0.14 \approx 35.78571429$$

Since you can't send or receive a fraction of a text, you will have to round this answer down to the nearest whole number.

So, the maximum number of texts you can send or receive is 35.
