Answer:

6 songs

Explanation:

It's best to start by setting up an equation equal to $20.

$14 + $.99s = $20

s being songs in this case.

First we add like terms by subtracting $14 from both sides.

$.99s = $6

Now we solve for s by dividing both sides by $.99

s = $6.06

Therefore, Josh can by 6 songs.
