Answer:

The second plan ($15.00 for 15 songs) offers the lowest cost per song.

Explanation:

The objective is to find the plan that provides the lowest cost per song. "Lowest cost per song" is basically $/song. So let's compare the two plans by calculating the cost per song.

Plan 1: $9.60/(8 songs) = $1.20/song

Plan 2: $15.00/(15 songs) = $1.00/song

The second plan ($15.00 for 15 songs) offers the lowest cost per song.
