Answer
A
With the 10 dollars gift card, Jose can buy at most 9 songs.

With the 10 dollars gift card, Jose can buy at most 8 songs.
C
With the 10 dollars gift card, Jose can buy 9 or more songs.
D
With the 10 dollars gift card, Jose can buy 8 or more songs.

Explanation

Let s be the number of songs. Since each song costs $1.19 and Jose has $10, the inequality is 1.19s ≤ 10. Dividing gives s ≤ about 8.4, so because he can only buy a whole number of songs, he can buy at most 8 songs. This matches “With the 10 dollars gift card, Jose can buy at most 8 songs.”
