Question

Can you please help me solve this?

A) the maximum size of a text message is 160 characters. A space counts as one character.

B) The phrase is (Please Call me.)

C) How many characters remain in the message shown?

Answer 1

There are 12 letters

There are 2 spaces

There is one decimal point.

That's 15 characters.

160 -15 = 145 characters remain UNLESS

You count the parenthesis.... THEN there are 17 characters,

leaving 143 characters remaining.
