Answer:
62 text messages.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of text messages.
We have been given that Dante's cell phone company charges $45 per month for unlimited calls and internet use and $0.25 per text message.
The total cost of Dante's bill would be \(0.25x+45\)
We have been given that last month Dante's bill was $60.50. We can represent this information in an equation as:
\(0.25x+45=60.50\)
\(0.25x+45-45=60.50-45\)
\(0.25x=15.5\)
\(\frac{0.25x}{0.25}=\frac{15.5}{0.25}\)
\(x=62\)
Therefore, Dante sent 62 text messages last month.
