    Word problem
In summary, the problem is asking for the number of high quality versions downloaded, given the total number of downloads and their respective file sizes. We can solve this using a system of equations, where one equation represents the total file size and the other equation represents the total number of downloads.

My homework question is "the standard version of a song is 2.3mb and high quality is 4.2mb. There was 1120 downloads for a total of 4077mb. How many high quality songs were downloaded?" I'm having an issue creating the formula needed to solve this word problem!

Hi reader1018,

I think we can set up a system of equations to solve this. Let's call $S$ the number of standard versions downloaded and $H$ the number of high quality versions downloaded. We are told that $2.3S+4.2H=4077$. We need a second equation though to solve for both variables. What else do we know?
