Question

kevin has $25. MP3 downloads cost $0.75 each. How many songs can he download and still have $13 left to spend? graph the solution on the number line

Answer 1

16 songs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of each download = $0.75

Kevin has $25.

After downloading he has a balance of $13.

The equation will be:

0.75x + 13 = 25

where x represents number of MP3 downloaded

To find how many songs he can download, let's solve for x;

0.75x + 13 = 25

Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation:

0.75x + 13 - 13 = 25 -13

0.75x = 12

Divide both sides by 0.75:

`\begin{gathered} (0.75x)/(0.75)=(12)/(0.75) \\ \\ x\text{ = 16} \end{gathered}`

Kevin can download 16 songs.
