Question

Liam spends $0.25 for every song he downloads to his cell phone. Which of the following represents the number of songs he can download if he has at least $3?

Answer 1

$0.25(S)=$3.00
______ ____
$0.25 $0.25

Divide by $0.25 on both sides^^^^^[(S)= songs]

(S)=12

Liam can download 12 songs

Answer 2

First, we would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the number of songs he can download.
$0.25x = $3
Or
$3 = $0.25x

Now, all you would need to do is isolate the x (get it alone). To do this, you would need to divide both sides of the equal sign by $0.25.
$3 = $0.25x
12 = x

x = 12

Liam could download 12 songs with $3 dollars.

I hope this helps!
