If Sophia purchases 푛 songs for $0.99 each, write an expression for the total cost. c. Sophia’s friend has saved $118 but is not sure how many songs she can afford if she buys the membership and some songs. Use the expression in part (b) to write an equation that can be used to determine how many songs Sophia’s friend can buy. d. Using the equation written in part (c), can Sophia’s friend buy 101, 100, or 99 songs? Relevant Vocabulary VARIABLE (DESCRIPTION): A variable is a symbol (such as a letter) that represents a number (i.e., it is a placeholder for a number). EQUATION: An equation is a statement of equality between two expressions. NUMBER SENTENCE: A number sentence is a statement of equality between two numerical expressions. SOLUTION: A solution to an equation with one variable is a number that, when substituted for the variable in both expressions, makes the equation a true number sentence.

Answer:

first, how much were her songs? It's two songs each, and their separate prize was 0.99:

total prize was 2*0.99=1.98

this gets added to the membership prize:

19.99+1.98=21.97

you can also calculate this by rounding all the numbers (20+1+1) and substracting the amount you rounded (three times one cent) - the result would be the same.

B 19.99+.99n

C okay so it says Sophia's friend has saved $118 so she already knows she has $118 and then the next step is to figure out about Part B so she does not know how many songs you can afford to buy so the expression in Part B whatever the expression is if you figured out the answer to Part B and there's a number what you want to do what you would want to divide that number into 118 to see how how many equal groups you can make and you don't want to go overboard 18 so what you would want to do it if you would want to do if you figure out the number to expression be in the boring part B they don't want to take that and keep making a go go to that until you reach 118 and then you would get your total

D N=99 songs
