Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The cost to send100 text messages is 5.00.Thecosttosendeachtextmessageisconstant3.Taubspent5.00. The cost to send each text message is constant3. Taub spent 9.55 on text messages

STEP 2

First, we need to find the cost per text message. We can do this by dividing the cost for100 text messages by100.
Cost per text message=Cost for 100 text messages100Cost\, per\, text\, message = \frac{Cost\, for\,100\, text\, messages}{100}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the cost for100 text messages to calculate the cost per text message.
Cost per text message=$5.00100Cost\, per\, text\, message = \frac{\$5.00}{100}

STEP 4

Calculate the cost per text message.
Cost per text message=$.00100=$0.05Cost\, per\, text\, message = \frac{\$.00}{100} = \$0.05

STEP 5

Now that we have the cost per text message, we can find the number of text messages Taub sent. This can be found by dividing the total amount she spent by the cost per text message.
Number of text messages=Total amount spentCost per text messageNumber\, of\, text\, messages = \frac{Total\, amount\, spent}{Cost\, per\, text\, message}

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the total amount spent and the cost per text message to calculate the number of text messages.
Number of text messages=$9.55$0.05Number\, of\, text\, messages = \frac{\$9.55}{\$0.05}

STEP 7

Calculate the number of text messages Taub sent.
Number of text messages=$9.55$0.05=191Number\, of\, text\, messages = \frac{\$9.55}{\$0.05} =191aub sent191 text messages.
