Answer 1

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.
