Answer 1

20- 16.5= 3.5divuded by 3 = 1.17*8= 9.33 20-9.33= 10.67. His balance will be 10.67!

Answer 2

Answer: The remaining balance after he buys 5 more songs is $10.

Explanation:

Given : The value of the gift card is $20 .

After Noah buys 3 songs the balance on the card is $16.25.

Here ,

Let x be the cost of one song, then

Value of the gift card - cost of x songs =Balance remaining on card

`20 - 3x = 16.25\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x=20-16.25\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x=3.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=1.25`

i.e. cost of each song = $1.25

Now , the remaining balance after he buys 5 more songs = $16.25 - 5(1.25)

= $ 16.25 -6.25

= $10

Hence, the remaining balance after he buys 5 more songs is $10.
