Answer:

C. $945

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 cellular bill = (number of text msgs per day) x (cost per text msg) x (number of days in billing period)

in this case, it is given that :

cost per text msg = $0.89

number of texts per day = 22 or 23

billing cycle = 6 weeks = 6 x 7 = 42 days

hence,

Cost of 1 cellular bill = (22 or 23) x $0.89 x 42 days

if she sends 22 messages,

Cost of 1 cellular bill = (22) x $0.89 x 42 days= $822.36

if she sends 23 messages,

Cost of 1 cellular bill = (2) x $0.89 x 42 days= $859.74

if we compare thse 2 numbers that we have calculated with the choices, the closest match would be C. $945. The rest are just too far away in comparison.
