Question

Alan bought 3 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, he paid a total of $38.70. Each CD had a tax of $1.10. What was the price of each CD before tax?​

Answer 1

11.80 dollars

Explanation:

Well, first I would multiply 1.10 by 3 which is 3.30 then subtract 38.70 - 3.30 and get 35.40, and finally divide 35.40 by 3 to get 11.80

Answer 2

$11.80

Explanation:

3*$1.10 = $3.30

price without tax,

= 38.70-3.30

= 35.40

Cost of each CD,

= 35.40/3

= 11.80
