Question

Alia has a AED 20 gift card for an online music store. All songs at the store have the same price. After Alia buys 3 songs, the balance on the card is AED 16.25. What will be the remaining balance on the card after he buys 5 more songs

Answer 1

Remaining balance = AED 13.75

Explanation:

Given that:

Amount of gift card = AED 20

Amount left after buying 3 songs = AED 16.25

Cost of 3 songs = 20 - 16.25 = AED 3.75

Cost per song =
`(3.75)/(3)`

Cost per song = AED 1.25

Cost of 5 songs = 5(1.25) = AED 6.25

Remaining balance = 20 - 6.25 = AED 13.75

Hence,

Remaining balance = AED 13.75
