MEDAL TO WHOEVER CAN ANSWER! A Web music store offers two versions of a popular song. The size of the standard version is megabytes (MB). The size of the high-quality version is MB. Yesterday, there were downloads of the song, for a total download size of MB. How many downloads of the standard version were there?
Do you have any numbers that is given?
lol yeah sorry that would be helpful huh?
Yes ma'am, it would.
A Web music store offers two versions of a popular song. The size of the standard version is 2.1 megabytes (MB). The size of the high-quality version is 4.2 MB. Yesterday, there were 1300 downloads of the song, for a total download size of 4578 MB. How many downloads of the standard version were there?
There ya go! Sorry for that lol
Okay, start solving this and tell me what you got. 2.2(1400−y)+4.7y=5105
2.1 I mean
Wait, are you solving at the moment?
I couldn't figure out how to set it up, it's been a while since I've done word problems. As long as you could give me the equation I could solve. lol
but yes, I'm doing so lol
I messed up the equation. Solve this: 2.1(1300-y)+4.2y=4578
haha, no worries and I figured that's what you meant :P
@sourwing stay here for a while - in case I don't get it right.
is it y=880?
Give me a minute to solve it as well.
Okay (:
Yes, you're correct!
See, I'm not totally stupid, lol I just have trouble coming up with the equation, I can solve no problem :P and thank you soooo much! :D
Now solve this equation x+880=1300
ok
420
So far we know x = 420 y = 880
So now what do we do?
You found both answers. Correct?
yup!
That's how many downloads of the standard version.
420 is the answer?
cool :D
Yes, 420 for x, and y is 880. But make sure to show these two answers for your teacher.
@sourwing I guess I didn't need you after all. Sorry to keep you waiting lol.
Okay, thank you very much!
Anytime, you did great yourself :)
