You have 44 text messages in your inbox. Your inbox is 88% full. How many messages can your cell phone hold?

Sagot :

44 divided by 8= 0.5

0.5x100= 50 

your phone can hold 50 text messages

Answer: Your cell phone can hold 50 messages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of messages your phone can hold be x.

Given : The number of messages in your inbox = 44

And your inbox is 88% full.

We can write 88% ad 0.88  [to convert percent to decimal we divide it by 100]

Then, we have

[tex]0.88\timesx=44[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.88 , we get

[tex]x=\dfrac{44}{0.88}=\dfrac{4400}{88}=50[/tex]

Hence, your cell phone can hold 50 messages.
