B. 4 songs
Explanation:
For Company A, the cost per song is $1.25.
For Company B, the cost per song is $0.65 + $4 membership fee.
Let x be the number of songs purchased.
Company A cost = $1.25x
Company B cost = $0.65x + $4
Setting the costs equal to each other:
$1.25x = $0.65x + $4
$0.60x = $4
x = 6.67
Since you can't purchase a fraction of a song, you can only purchase the maximum whole number of songs, which is 4 in this case. Therefore, Company A is a better buy for purchasing 4 songs or less.
