Sal paid 4 cents per text.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total amount paid = $28

Total texts sent = 386

Fixed fee = $ 14.25

Let,

x be the cost per text

y be the total amount paid

y = 386x + 14.25

[tex]28=386x+14.25\\28-14.25=386x\\13.75=386x\\386x=13.75[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 386

[tex]\frac{386x}{386}=\frac{13.75}{386}\\x=0.36[/tex]

Cost per text = $0.036 = 0.04*100 = 04 cents

Sal paid 4 cents per text.
