Answer:

770 high-quality songs were downloaded

Step-by-step explanation:

A web music store offerst two versions:

There were 1290 for a total download size of 4403MB.

According to the information above, we have the following system of equations:

A + B =1290

2.1A + 4.3B = 4403

Where 'A' referst to the number of Standard songs and 'B' refers to the number of High Quality songs.

Solving the sistem of equations we get that:

A + B =1290 ⇒ A = 1290 - B

2.1A + 4.3B = 4403 ⇒ 2.1(1290 - B) + 4.3B = 4403

⇒ 2709 - 2.1B + 4.3B = 4403 ⇒ 2.2B = 1694 ⇒ B=770

Now, let's find the value of 'A':

A + B =1290 ⇒ A = 1290 - 770 ⇒ A = 520.

Therefore, 770 high-quality songs were downloaded.
