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
A s ≥ 60s ≥ 60
B s ≥ 30s ≥ 30
C s ≤ 30s ≤ 30
D s ≤ 60
To find the maximum number of songs Ella can buy, we need to subtract the registration fee from her total budget, and then divide that amount by the cost per song:
Total budget: $50.00
Registration fee: $20.00
Remaining budget for songs: $50.00 - $20.00 = $30.00
Cost per song: $0.50
Maximum number of songs Ella can buy: $30.00 / $0.50 = 60
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D) s ≤ 60
