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.
