Question

Miguel can use all or part of his $25 gift card to make a music purchase. Each song costs $1.50, and there is a $1.00 per account activation fee. Which inequalities can represent this situation if m is the number of songs he can buy? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

1.00 + 1.50m lesss than or equal to 25

Answer 2

Answer:

$1.00+1.50m \leq 25$ or $m \leq 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Activation Fee = $1.00

Cost of each song = $1.50

Since we are given that he can buy m songs .

So, Cost of m songs = $1.50 m

So, total cost = Activation charge + Cost of m songs = $1.00+$1.50 m

Since we are also given that Miguel can use all or part of his $25 gift card to make a music purchase.

So, the inequality becomes :

$1.00+1.50m \leq 25$

or

$.50m \leq 25-1$

$1.50m \leq 24$

$m \leq \frac{24}[1.5}$

$m \leq 16$

Hence the inequality that can represent the situation is $1.00+1.50m \leq 25$ or $m \leq 16$
