Question

3. A website allows users to download individual songs or whole albums.

Answer 1

Answer:

Each song costs $2 and each album costs $10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a website allows users to download individual songs or whole albums, and all songs cost the same price to download and all albums cost the same price to download, and Karim pays $ 30 to download 5 songs and 2 albums while Kimberlyn pays $ 26 for download 3 songs and 2 albums, to determine what is the cost to download 1 song and the cost to download 1 album, the following calculations must be made:

5X + 2Y = 30

3X + 2Y = 26

(30 - 26) / (5 - 3) = X

4/2 = X

2 = X

Therefore, each song has a cost of $ 2.

Thus, to know the cost of each album (knowing that both downloaded the same amount, that is, 2), the following calculation must be performed:

5x2 + 2Y = 30

10 + 2Y = 30

2Y = 30 - 10

2Y = 20

Y = 20/2

Y = 10

Therefore, each album has a cost of $ 10.
