Jason loves to download music. Downloads R Us sells songs only in packages of three, and it charges $2.00 for each package of three songs. Jason's favorite group just released their greatest hits CD, which has 17 songs on it. Jason wants to buy all 17 songs from downloads R Us. How much should Jason expect to pay ?

I assume he can choose which songs are in each package.

If so, then he needs 6 packages.

To calculate how much Jason should expect to pay, we need to determine the number of packages of three songs he needs to purchase. Since Downloads R Us sells songs in packages of three, we'll divide the total number of songs by three to find this out.

Total number of songs: 17

Number of packages of three songs = Total number of songs ÷ 3

Number of packages of three songs = 17 ÷ 3

Number of packages of three songs = 5 (rounded up from 5.666...)

Therefore, Jason will need to purchase 5 packages of three songs.

Now, let's calculate the total cost. We know that each package of three songs costs $2.00. To find the total cost, we'll multiply the number of packages by the cost per package.

Total cost = Number of packages of three songs × Cost per package

Total cost = 5 × $2.00

Total cost = $10.00

In conclusion, Jason should expect to pay $10.00 to buy all 17 songs from Downloads R Us.
