Mercedes receives a $25 gift card for downloading music and wants to determine how many songs she can purchase. each downloaded song costs $1.29. write and solve an inequality to determine m, the number of songs mercedes can purchase. what is the approximate solution to the inequality? round to the nearest whole number.

Respuesta :

The solution to the inequality: [tex]1.29m\leq 25[/tex]  is m=19.

What is inequality?

Mathematical expressions with inequalities are those in which the two sides are not equal. Contrary to equations, we compare two values in inequality. Less than (or less than or equal to), greater than (or greater than or equal to), or not equal to signs are used in place of the equal sign.

Value of gift card=$25

Cost of each song=$1.29

Let m be the number of songs purchased.

Then, the required inequality is as follows:

[tex]1.29m\leq 25\\m\leq \frac{25}{1.29}\\ m\leq 19.38[/tex]

The value of m rounded to the nearest whole number is 19.
