Question

Joseph received a $20 gift card for downloading music. Each downloaded song costs $1.29. Explain how to write and solve an inequality that can be used to determine the number of songs that he can purchase. Interpret the solution.

Answer 1

Sample response: If x represents the number of downloads, you can write the inequality 1.29x ≤ 20. Solving the inequality, you find that x is less than or equal to about 15.5. Since he can’t download part of a song, Joseph can download 15 or fewer songs.

Answer 2

There is 20 dollars and the cost is 1.29. You need to have more money than the cost

To see if he can buy Y many songs

20 > 1.29 x Y

If you want how many songs

20/1.29=amount of songs

20/1.29 = 15.5

You round down because he cannot afford the full 16th song but can afford the 15th song fully so he can buy 15 songs
