A cell phone company charges a fixed income tax rate of $25 per month plus $0.05 for every text sent over the plan if you to send texts charge came to $30 how many times does it take to get your plan

Answer:100 text messages

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of text messages that you sent over the plan for a Month.

A cell phone company charges a fixed income tax rate of $25 per month plus $0.05 for every text sent over the plan. This means that the total cost of x messages sent over the plan for a month would be

25 + 0.05x

If the total charge for the month is $30, then the total number of text messages that you sent over the plan for that month would be

30 = 25 + 0.05x

0.05x = 30 - 25 = 5

x = 5 / 0.05 = 100
