Each month, Mattingly pays $0.08 per text message that he sends or receives, plus a $10 fee. Mattingly’s bill for February was $44.56. How many texts did Mattingly send or receive in February? *
Since Mattingly has to pay a 10 dollar fee you subtract that from 44.56, that leaves you with 34.56. From there you divide 34.56 by 0.08 and that equals 432. So the answer is 432 texts.
