Since the songs are $1 each and the audio books are $4 so for every ONE audio book he buys at $4, he will buy THREE songs at $1 each. So if he buys 5 audio books he will buy 15 songs and in turn spend $20 on audio books and $15 on songs. You can make a formula to solve this problem if S= amount of songs and A= amount of audio books
S=A*3 input the number of Audio books and you get the number of songs per audio book. For example S=5*3 S=15 so you have 15 songs when you buy 5 audio books.
In order to calculate price (Total price = T), T=S+(A*4) This can only be calculated once you do the first formula. So since A=5 and S=15
T=15+(5*4) T=$35 If Ben buys 5 Audio Books and 15 songs, he will spend $35
Using the formula, Ben can buy 6 Audio books and 16 songs and spend $40
So Ben's options are either spending $35 and having 3 times as many songs as he does Audio books
Or spending all of his $40 and buying 1 more of each
(Additionally, he could buy 5 more songs and spend the same amount of money)
Answer:
What is meant by “options” in the context of the final question?
*POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS OF THE NUMBERS OF AUDIOBOOKS BEN MAY BUY>
Let x = *NUMBERS OF SONGS* Let x =*NUMBER OF AUDIOBOOKS
