    Answer:

    Amount charged for downloading individual songs = x dollars

    Amount charged for downloading an entire album = y dollars

    In respect to person A:

    6x + 2y = 25.92

    3x + y = 12.96

    y = 12.96 – 3x

    In respect to person B:

    4x + 3y = 33.93

    Putting the value of y from the first equation in the second, we get

    4x + 3(12.96 – 3x) = 33.93

    4x + 38.88 – 9x = 33.93

    – 5x = – 4.95

    x = 0.99 dollars

    Putting the value of x in the first equation, we get

    y = 12.96 – 3x

      = 12.96 – 2.97

      = 9.99 dollars
