Answer 1

Answer: You can send or receive a maximum of 21 text messages per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to take out the number the phone bill costs (24.99)

29 - 24.99 = 4.01

Then, you need to find out how many 0.19 fit into 4.01.

21 * 0.19 = 3.99. Any more than that and it would go over.

Answer 2

cell phone plan = $29.99

Cost per message= $0.14

Money available:$29

we have to write an inequality:

the total cost of the cell phone must be less or equal to the money available

24.99+0.14x≤29

(Where  x is the number of text messages)

solve for  x:

0.14x≤29-24.99

0.14x≤4.01

x≤4.01/0.14

x≤4.01/0.14

x≤26.6

The maximium number of messages you can send or receive is 26
