    There were 560 high-quality version downloads of the song yesterday

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

    Size of the standard version = 2.7 MB

    Size of the high-quality version = 4.9 MB

    Number of downloads of the song yesterday = 1,440

    Download size yesterday = 5,120 MB

    2. How many downloads of the high-quality version were there?

    For answering the question we will use the following equation:

    x = Number of high-quality downloads of the song yesterday

    1,440 - x = Number of standard downloads of the song yesterday

    Number of high-quality downloads of the song yesterday * Size of the high-quality version + Number of standard downloads of the song yesterday * Size of the standard version = Download size yesterday

    Replacing with the real values, we have:

    4.9x + (1,440 - x) * 2.7 = 5,120

    4.9x + 3,888 - 2.7x = 5,120

    2.2x = 5,120 - 3,888

    2.2x = 1,232

    x = 1,232/2.2 = 560

    x = 560 ⇒ (1,440 - x) = 880

    There were 560 high-quality version downloads of the song yesterday and 880 standard version.
