  1. Answer:

    13 songs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    40 divided by 2.89 is 13.84. DO NOT ROUND TO 14

    So its a maximum of 13 songs, otherwise it will cost 40.46 for 14 songs

  2. Answer:

    A. $2.89(m)=$40

    B. 13 songs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    $2.89(m)=$40

    m=$40/$2.89

    m=13.84

    She can download a maximum of 13 songs

    Check:

    $2.89 (13 songs)=$37.57

    $40-$37.57=$2.43 left on her gift card

    m=13.84, check that 0.84 of the cost of a song is left over 0.84*$2.89=$2.43
