​Jerry has set aside a certain amount of money to download applications for his new smart phone. The number of applications he can afford to download is inversely proportional to the cost of each download. With his money, he can afford to download 12 applications that cost $2 each. How many applications can he afford to download if he finds less expensive applications that cost only $1.50 each?

Dear Student,

Given: Jerry can afford =12 applications Cost for each application = dollar 2So,Cost of 12 applications = 12×2 =dollar 24Now, So, Jerry has dollar 24 to download the applications. If cost of each application is dollar 1.5, then for dollar 24 Jerry can buy 241.5 applications.241.5 = 16So, Jerry can download 16 applications if cost of each application is dollar1.5
