Answer 1

Thus, when both S-jams and C-tunes have 20 songs downloaded in a month , the cost will be same.

an expression for the cost of S-Jams $0.99n + $16

Explanation:

For

S-Jams

cost of 1 song = $1.29

let there be n songs downloaded in a month

then

cost of n songs = n*cost of 1 song = $1.29n

monthly fee = $10

Total cost of S-Jams = $1.29n+$10

For

C-Tunes

cost of 1 song = $0.99

let there be n songs downloaded in a month

then

cost of n songs = n*cost of 1 song = $0.99n

monthly fee = $16

Total cost for C-Tunes= $0.99n + $16

we have to find When will the company’s plans cost the same.

Total cost of S-Jams = Total cost of C- Tunes

1.29n+10 = 0.99n + 16

=> 1.29n - 0.99n = 16-10

=> 0.30n = 6

=> n = 6/0.3 = 20

Thus, when both S-jams and C-tunes have 20 songs downloaded in a month , the cost will be same.

an expression for the cost of S-Jams $0.99n + $16
