a. 54

b. 9.35

Step-by-step explanation:

a. First, divide 15.34 by 0.59 to find the number of songs you had to pay for.

15.34/0.59 = 26

then add it to the number of free songs you downloaded

26 + 28 = 54

b. divide 15.34 by 1.64

15.34/1.64 = 9.35

for c I would just multiply 1.65 by the usd exchange rate (1.64) which is 2.10 so you could afford 3 more songs but I don't know what equation exactly you would use or if what I did works.
