Jasmines cell phone company charges $35 an month for phone service plus 0.50 for each text message. how many twxt messages does jasmine swnd in a month if her bill was $52?

52-35=17
17/0.50= 34
She sends 34 messages in a month

1st we would have to subtract $35 from $52 because we know $35 is all ready being paid. We get $17. Then we have to multiply $0.50 by a number we think could be the possible number to get $17. 34×$0.50=17. So your answer would be 34 text. Hope this helps.
