Lauren pays $19.99 for a membership fee to an online music store. Lauren buys songs from a new album at the price of $0.99 each. She paid a total of $21.97 for the membership fee and the songs. Which represents the number of songs Lauren bought?
(A) 1 songs
(B) 2 songs
(C) 3 songs
(D) 4 songs

Respuesta :

The right answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Number of songs = x

Price of 1 song = $0.99

Membership fee = $19.99

Total amount paid = $21.97

According to given statement;

0.99x+19.99=21.97

Subtracting 19.99 from both sides

[tex]0.99x+19.99-19.99=21.97-19.99\\0.99x=1.98[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.99

[tex]\frac{0.99x}{0.99}=\frac{1.98}{0.99}\\x=2[/tex]

Lauren bought 2 songs.

The right answer is Option B.
