Question

A wireless phone plan cost Eric $35 for a month of service during which he sent 450 text messages. If he was charged an fixed fee of $12.50, how much did he pay per text.

Answer 1

$.05 per message

Explanation:

450m + 12.5 = 35

450m = 35-12.5

450m = 22.5 divide both sides by 450

m=22.5/450

m=.05
