Question #b6a14

Answer 1

Bethany sent `9` text messages to her best friend.

Explanation:

You can convert the words of this word problem to a mathematical expression.

We have `60` text messages. `15%` of `60` messages were sent to her best friend.

Since 'of' implies multiplication, we can multiply `60` by `15%`, or `60 times .15`

`60times.15=9`, so she sent `9` texts to her best friend.
