Hi there!
Let the number of texts be represented by T.
The we get the following function of total cost:
Total cost = 30 + 0.05T.
Since Heather wants her bill to be under $60, the total cost must be smaller than 60. We get the following
30 + 0.05T < 60
Subtract 30 from both sides.
0.05T < 30
Divide by 0.05
T < 600. Therefore Heather can send a maximum of 600 texts (and then she pays a bill of $60)
