Answer:
Jeannie sent/received 572 text messages
Step-by-step explanation:
60$ are payed at the beginning
0.15$ is payed for every extra text.
the total is 70.80$
if t is the number of extra text messages, then
60 + 0.15t = 70.80
subtract 60 from both sides
0.15t = 70.80 - 60
0.15t = 10.80
divide both sides by 0.15
t = 10.80/0.15
t = 72
remember, Jeannie was able to send 500 free texts at the beginning.
so, her total texts would be 572
