Answer 2

The sale price of a new compact disc player is $212 at a local discount store. Kyle bought 6 CDs.

SOLUTION:

Given, the sale price of a new compact disc player is $212 at a local discount store.

At the store where this sale is going on, each new CD is on sale for $12 each.

Kyle purchases a player and some CDs for $284.

Let the number of CD be x.

Total amount = amount for CD palyer + amount for CDs.

284 = 212 + number of CDs x amount of one CD.

284 = 212 + x ⅹ 12

12x = 284 – 212

12x = 72 = 6

Hence, Kyle bought 6 CDs.
