Her bill for September was $60.
What is x, the number of texts Heather sent during the month of September?

60?

180?

Answer 1

Answer:600 messages

Step-by-step explanation: For every dollar, there are 100 cents. 100 cents divided by 5 = 20. This means 20 messages per dollar. Since it was only one month, $30 dollars was payed through the amount of messages she sent. Therefore, 20*30 = 600 messages.

Answer 2

it’s 600 because 60 is the total and heather pays 30 monthly. so 60-30 is 30. then 30 divided by 0.05, which is 600 so that’s the answer
