To find the maximum number of songs Ella can buy, we need to subtract the registration fee from her total budget, and then divide that amount by the cost per song:

Total budget: $50.00
Registration fee: $20.00
Remaining budget for songs: $50.00 - $20.00 = $30.00

Cost per song: $0.50

Maximum number of songs Ella can buy: $30.00 / $0.50 = 60

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D) s ≤ 60
