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?
s≥30
s≤30
s≥60
s≤60
The one-time registration fee of $20 should be subtracted from the total amount Ella has to spend on songs. Therefore, she will have $50.00 - $20.00 = $30.00 to spend on downloads. She will be charged $0.50 per song download, so the maximum number of songs she can buy is $30.00 / $0.50 = 60 songs.
The correct inequality that represents this situation is: s ≤ 60.
