My question is: Jennifer's boyfriend left 5 texts about the grocery shopping, 5 times more texts asking why she wasn't responding, and a number of texts equal to 10% of all the texts he sent previously saying he was calling the police. How many texts did he send total? Your thoughts:
First find how many texts Jennifer's boyfriend sent asking why she wasn't responding: 5 texts * 5 = 25 texts. Then add that number to the number of grocery shopping texts: 25 texts + 5 texts = 30 texts. Then multiply that number by 10% to find how many texts he sent about calling the police: 30 texts * 10% = 3 texts. Then added how many texts of each kind he sent to find the total number of texts he sent: 3 texts + 30 texts = 33 texts. The final answer: 33.
