Question

Jairo spent $40.18 on 3 music cds each cd cost the same amount . The sales tax was $ 2.33. Jairo also used a coupon for 1.00 of his purchase . what would each cd cost

Answer 1

$ 12.95 each

Explanation:

Subtract the cost of the sales tax and add back the value of the coupon. Then, divide by 3

`(40.18 - 2.33 + 1)/(3)` = $12.95

hoped this helped.

Answer 2

40.18-2.33=37.85

37.85+1.00=38.85

38.85/3=12.95

each CD costs $12.95

(math to check)

12.95*3=38.85

38.85+2.33=41.18

41.18-1.00=40.18

$40.18
