Answer 1

What are your thoughts?

Answer 2

Well I dont know how to write the inequality but I do know that you could download 18 songs total

Answer 3

How'd you figure that out?

Answer 4

Well you have $37 total and then a $10 fee so now your down to $27
So at $1.50 a song, it comes out to 18 songs

Answer 5

Okay, now, if its 1.50/song then you would have part of the inequality saying 1.50s right?

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

And to even start all of this there is a fee of $10, so it would be the initial fee (10) plus what ever it is per song (1.50), which would be 10+1.50s.

Answer 8

And since the most you can spend is $37, it would be 10+1.50s is less than or equal to 37
