How many songs can Jose purchase?(1 point) Responses 12 or more songs 12 or more songs 13 or more songs 13 or more songs at most 13 songs at most 13 songs at most 12 songs

Answer 1

To determine how many songs Joe can purchase with his $15 gift card, we can divide the total amount of money he has by the cost of each song.

Cost of each song = $1.19
Total gift card amount = $15.00

To find the number of songs Joe can buy:

\[ \text{Number of songs} = \frac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Cost per song}} = \frac{15.00}{1.19} \approx 12.605 \]

Since Joe cannot purchase a fraction of a song, we round down to the nearest whole number. Thus, he can buy at most 12 songs.

The correct response is: at most 12 songs.
