An online music club has a one-time registration fee of $20 and charges $0.50 for each song download. If Ella has $50.00 to join the club and buy songs, which inequality gives the maximum number of songs, s, she can buy?

Responses

The inequality that gives the maximum number of songs Ella can buy is:

$20 (registration fee) + $0.50s (cost per song) ≤ $50.00

This simplifies to:

$0.50s ≤ $30.00

Dividing both sides by $0.50, we get:

s ≤ 60

Therefore, Ella can buy a maximum of 60 songs with her $50.00 budget.
