Answer:

Multiplication or division (I would go with multiplication)

Explanation:

Call the number of CD's x. Then, we have the equation 3x = $16.50, which I would say is multiplication, or, if you divided 3 on both sides, division. If there is only one correct answer I would go with multiplication though.

Multiplication?? because 5.5 times 3 is 16.50 but to get 5.5 you have to divide 16.50 by 3...
