Given the statement:
Doug can download new songs for $1.19 each.
Write an equation to show how many songs he can download for $12.00.
Solution:
Let x = number of songs.
The given condition can be represented as,
12/1.19 = x
In order to solve for x or the number os songs, we simply need to divide 12 by 1.19
12/1.19 = x
10.08 = x
Since we need the exact value then we can round to the nearest whole number.
x = 10
Final answer:
Dough can download 10 songs in total.
