Question

Jacob signed up for a streaming music service that costs $6 per month. The service allows Jacob to listen to unlimited music, but if he wants to download songs for offline listening, the service charges $0.50 per song. How much total money would Jacob have to pay in a month in which he downloaded 20 songs? How much would he have to pay if he downloaded

Answer 1

answer: $16

with the base being $6, you can write the equation 6 + .5x = y

“x” is represented by the number of songs downloaded, so we can replace x with 20

y is the total amount of money

6 + .5(20) = y

now, all you have to do is solve

6 + 10 = y

16 = y
