Question

Mariana receives a $20 gift card for downloading music and wants to determine how many songs she can purchase. Each downloaded song costs $1.29. If m represents the number of songs downloaded, which inequality represents the given situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.29m\leq 20$ is the required inequality

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of songs = m.

The cost of downloading 1 songs = $1.29

So, the cost of downloading 'm' songs = $1.29m$ dollars

Since, the maximum amount she can spend on downloading songs is $20.

So, we get the inequality, $1.29m\leq 20$

Hence, the inequality representing the situation is $1.29m\leq 20$.

Answer 2

1.29m must be < or = to 20.
Therefore, m should equal about 15 songs. 
1.29(20) = 19.35
19.35<20
