Q:

Jose receives a $10 gift card for downloading music and wants to determine how many songs he can purchase. Each downloaded song costs $1.19. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many songs Jose can purchase. What does the solved inequality represent?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Option C: With the $10 gift card, Jose can buy at most 8 songs.Step-by-step explanation:First, lets use s as our variable for the number of songs.Then, we write an inequality: 1.19s ≀ 10This inequality means that the product of 1.19 times the number of songs must always be less than or equal to 10.Then, simply substitute s for your number of songs and test if the inequality holds true. If it does not, then the answer is wrong.The reason answer C is correct is because if s = 8, the inequality would read as 9.52 ≀ 10 which is true.
