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?

Answer 1

The answer is there by see there is a possible number of song can buy

Answer 2

Answer:

$1.5m+1\leq 25$ or $1.5m\leq 24$ or $m\leq \frac{24}{1.5}$  or $m\leq 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Activation cost = $1

Cost of 1 song = $1.5

Let m be the number of songs

So, Cost of m song = $1.5m

So, Total cost of m songs including activation cost=$1.5m+1$

He has a gift card of $25

So, He can make a purchase of less than or equal to $25

So, inequality becomes: $1.5m+1\leq 25$

                                                or

                                         $1.5m\leq 24$

                                                or

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

                                                or

                                         $m\leq 16$

Hence inequalities can represent this situation if m is the number of songs he can buy is $1.5m+1\leq 25$ or $1.5m\leq 24$ or $m\leq \frac{24}{1.5}$  or $m\leq 16$
