Question

Zeynep downloaded 13 songs. Each song cost $1.29. Then she downloaded one video for $2.45. She had a $1.50 coupon. What was the total amount Zeynep paid?

Answer 1

To calculate the total amount Zeynep paid, we start by finding the cost of the songs and video before applying the coupon.

1. **Cost of the songs**:
She downloaded 13 songs at $1.29 each:
\[
\text{Cost of songs} = 13 \text{ songs} \times 1.29 \text{ dollars/song} = 16.77 \text{ dollars}
\]

2. **Cost of the video**:
The video cost $2.45:
\[
\text{Cost of video} = 2.45 \text{ dollars}
\]

3. **Total cost before coupon**:
Now we add the total cost of the songs and the video:
\[
\text{Total cost} = 16.77 \text{ dollars} + 2.45 \text{ dollars} = 19.22 \text{ dollars}
\]

4. **Applying the coupon**:
Zeynep had a $1.50 coupon, so we subtract that from her total cost:
\[
\text{Total amount paid} = 19.22 \text{ dollars} - 1.50 \text{ dollars} = 17.72 \text{ dollars}
\]

Thus, the total amount Zeynep paid is **$17.72**.
