Your cell phone company started a rewards club. For every three texts sent, you get 15 points. You need 1800 points for a prize. How many texts do you need to send to get that prize

Answer:

360 texts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The points given for 3 texts = 15,

So, the points given for 1 text = [tex]\frac{15}{3}[/tex] = 5,

If x text are sent,

Then the number of points earned = x × points for 1 text

= 5x

According to the question,

5x = 1800

[tex]\impilies x = \frac{1800}{5} = 360[/tex]

Hence, 360 texts needs to send to get 1800 points.
