112 texts
45.50-17=28
28/0.25=112

Answer:

114 text messages

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

45.50 = .25x + 17

Where x is the number of text messages sent

Subtract 17 on both sides:

45.50 = .25x + 17

-17                   -17

28.50 = .25x

Divide by .25 on both sides:

28.50 = .25x

/.25        /.25

114 = x
