Question

Rochelle received a $15 gift card to an online music store. She downloaded 12 songs that each cost the same price. After the gift card was applied, her total was $8.88. Which equation can be used to find , the price of each song?

Answer 1

To find the price of each song, we can set up an equation using the given information. Rochelle downloaded 12 songs and the total cost after applying the gift card was $8.88. Solving the equation, we find that the price of each song is $1.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of each song, we can set up an equation using the given information. Let's say the price of each song is x dollars. Since Rochelle downloaded 12 songs, the total cost before applying the gift card would be 12x dollars. After applying the $15 gift card, her total cost was $8.88. So we can set up the equation 12x - 15 = 8.88. To solve for x, we can add 15 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 12:

12x - 15 = 8.88

12x = 23.88

x = 23.88/12

x = 1.99

Therefore, the price of each song is $1.99.
