Answer:
There will be [tex]243[/tex] billion messages sent or received in November.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given.
Number of text messages sent or received [tex]=215[/tex] billion.
Increment on the very next month [tex]=13\%=\frac{13}{100}=0.13[/tex]
Lets find what is [tex]13\%\ of\ 215[/tex]
⇒[tex]13\%\ of\ 215[/tex]
⇒[tex]0.13\times 215=27.95[/tex]
So we will add this value to our previous months data.
Now
Number of text messages sent in the month of November [tex]=(27.5+215)=242.95[/tex] billion.
Rounding to the nearest tenth the answer will be [tex]243[/tex] billion.
So [tex]243[/tex] billion text messages were sent or received in November.
