Question

Paige has a membership to a new website. It costs $5 a month and then each song costs $0.10 to purchase. Write and equation using S to represent the number of songs that she purchased if she spends $8.20 one month. How many songs did she buy?

Answer 1

She bought 32 songs.

Answer 2

I chose this problem because my name is Paige!! The equation would be 5x (for how many months she chose) + .10s (for how much per song). To find out how many songs are purchased you can do 8.20- 5. That you would get 3.20. Then divide 3.20 by 0.10. Therefore the number of songs she bought would be 32! Good Luck!
