To determine how many gem packs you can buy with a budget of $50, we first need to account for the monthly membership fee.
1. Subtract the membership fee from your total budget:
\[
50 - 9.99 = 40.01
\]
2. Next, we need to determine how many gem packs you can purchase with the remaining $40.01. Each gem pack costs $4.99. To find out how many gem packs can fit into the remaining budget, we divide the remaining budget by the cost of each gem pack:
\[
\frac{40.01}{4.99} \approx 8.01
\]
Since you cannot purchase a fraction of a gem pack, round down to the nearest whole number:
- You can buy **8 gem packs**.
Thus, the answer is **8**.
