Mikayla found a website that allows her to download songs for $1.30 each and ringtones for $0.75 each. Mikayla downloads x songs and 2 ringtones.

Which equation can be used to find y, the total cost that Mikayla must pay?
Responses
A y = 1.30x + 0.75y = 1.30 x + 0.75
B y = 1.30x + 1.50y = 1.30 x + 1.50
C y = 1.50x + 1.30y = 1.50 x + 1.30
D y = 0.75x + 2.60

1 answer

The correct answer is A: y = 1.30x + 0.75.

To find the total cost (y), we need to add the cost of the songs (which is $1.30 each and there are x of them) and the cost of the ringtones (which is $0.75 each and there are 2 of them). This gives us the equation:

y = 1.30x + 0.75(2)

Simplifying this equation:

y = 1.30x + 1.50

This matches option A.
