Question

You won a $100 gift card to purchase music and videos through an online store. You bought $22.40 worth of movies and 40 songs. What is the cost of each song?

a) $0.50
b) $1.50
c) $2.00
d) $2.50

Answer 1

To find the cost of each song, subtract the cost of the movies from the total amount and then divide by the number of songs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of each song, we can subtract the cost of the movies from the total amount of the gift card, and then divide the remaining amount by the number of songs.

1. Subtract $22.40 (cost of movies) from $100 (gift card amount) to get $77.60 (remaining balance).
2. Divide $77.60 by 40 (number of songs) to get $1.94 per song.

Therefore, the cost of each song is $1.94.
