Travel back in time to the year 2008, when text messages were charged per text. Some carriers charged $59 for a basic text package of 200 texts and 20 cents per text after that. Today, most packages include unlimited text and data but cost closer to $100 a month.
Write and solve an equation to determine the range of text messages you can send with the 2008 plan without spending more than $100.
If you have a phone, look at your data summary. Is this range your average daily number, weekly number, or monthly number of texts? Determine how much you would have paid for the month if you had the 2008 text plan? Write this as an equation and solve It.

Answer:

You can send 405 texts in 2008 without going over 100$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for 2008:

59$ for 200 texts + .20 dollars per text after that < or = $100

So minus $59 dollars

.20 * (number of txts) < 100 - 59

.20 * (number of txts) < 41

divide both sides by .2

number of txts < or = 205

so therefore you can send exactly 405 texts without going over $100

Then to find how much you would pay plug into this equation

If total number of texts is lower than 200 texts, then you would be paying $59, but if it is more then plug into the following equation

(Total number of texts - 200) * .20 + 59 = Total $ spent for a 2008 text plan per month.
