Question

Text messages cost $.15 each. You can spend no more than $10.00. How many text messages can you send?

Answer 1

66 texts.

Explanation:

This problem requires you to use division
Basically, it is asking how many groups of 15 can go in 10 dollars

Because each dollar is 100 cents, multiply that by 10

Now our dividend and divisor are 15 and 1000 cents

`1000-:15`
You can use a calculator or use long division, but with the quotient is not a whole number

66.66... or 66 R 10

You cant send part of a text, so the decimals are not usable-the remainder is not enough to pay for another text

now, using both methods, we have 66 WHOLE texts
