Natalie paid $14.99 to join an online music service. She purchased nine songs each month at a cost of $.99 per song Natalie thinks after five months you have spent around $60 total. Is Natalie’s estimate reason
able?
To determine if Natalie's estimate is reasonable, let's calculate the total cost she would have spent after five months:
Initial membership cost: $14.99
Cost of songs each month: 9 songs * $0.99/song = $8.91
Total cost after 5 months: $14.99 + ($8.91 * 5) = $14.99 + $44.55 = $59.54
Based on this calculation, Natalie's estimate of around $60 total after five months is reasonable.
