Question

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 $13 each. If Kyle purchases a player and some CDs for $238, how many CDs did he purchase?

Answer 1

To find the amount of CDs Kyle purchased, we have to subtract the cost of the CD player from the total cost. This equation would be $238-$212, which equals $26. If each CD is $13 each, and Kyle has $26 remaining after buying the CD player, then Kyle bought 2 CDs.
