Question

iTunes and Amazon each have plans for downloading music. iTunes charges $5.00 to join and $0.75 per song. Amazon has no fee to join and charges $1.00 per song. How many songs would you have to download (same number of downloads for each company) so that the prices are the same? Show all work.

Answer 1

Answer:

20 songs.

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,  iTunes charges $5.00 to join and $0.75 per song.

Amazon has no fee to join and charges $1.00 per song.

Let x songs would you have to download (same number of downloads for each company) so that the prices are the same.

Then we can write

$5+0.75x=1x\\\text{take like terms together by adding -0.75x on both the sides}\\5+0.75x-0.75x=1x-0.75x\\5=0.25x\\\text{Divide both the sides by 0.25}\\x=20$
