You budget $100 dollars a month for a cell phone bill. The company you are with charges you a flat rate of $55 each month plus $.50 for every text message. Write and solve an inequality that will tell you the most amount of text messages you could send each month.
--------------------
Solve: 55+0.5m <= 100
---
Subtract 55 to get:
0.5m <= 45
----
Divide both sides by "0.5" to get:
m <= 90 messages
