Sally received a $30 gift card that could be used to download songs. After she downloaded 7 songs , she had $15 remaining on her gift card. If each song costs the same amount to download, what is the cost of one song?

Answer:

$2.14285714286 or $2.14

Explanation:

This is quite simple.

#1. Take-away $15 from $30 because "$15 remain"ed.

#2. Then you get $15 dollars and divide that by 7, because she used the "same amount to download" each song so you divide 15 among 7 equally.

#3. There you go! You have the answer! it's: $2.14285714286 or $2.14 if simplified.

WooHoo!
