Given Information:

Suppose you send about 12 text messages

a day, and your older sister sends more text

messages than you do. Together, you send

a total of about 26 messages per day

To Find:

About how many text messages does she

send a day?

Solution:

Total messages by both of them = 26

Total messages by both of them = 26 Total messages by me = 12
