asked 12/11/19Assume that in October of a particular year about 220 billion text messages were sent or received in the US, and the prediction is that in the next month it will be a 13% increase. About how many will be sent or received in November of the same year? Rounded to the nearest tenth of a billion.

Note that the question is not how many more messages will be sent, but how many in total. Therefore I believe it is: 220,000,000,000 * 1.13 = 248,600,000,00012/11/19
