Question

a) Suppose you are able to download 1 free song to your tablet daily and each additional download costs $0.59. If your monthly bill is $15.34, how many songs did you download if you downloaded 28 free songs? Write an equation and solve for the unknown variable.

Answer 1

If 1 additional song costs $0.59, then there would be 26 additional songs downloaded. Because $15.34 divided by $0.59 is 26. 

Let x be the number of songs downloaded.

x = 28 + (15.34/0.59)
x = 28 + (26)
x = 54

You have 54 songs downloaded on your tablet. 

Hope this helps :)
