Question

Jorge bought 3 DVDs, each for the same price, and a set of earphones for a price of $10. The total cost before tax was $49. What was the cost of one DVD?

Answer 1

The cost of each DVDs is $ 13 .

Explanation:

Given as :

The cost of earphones = $ 10

The number of DVDs bought = 3

The total cost of both items before tax = $ 49

Let The cost of each DVDs = $ x

So, According to question

The cost of earphones + The cost of 3 DVDs = $ 49

Or, $ 10 + 3 × x = $ 49

Or, 3 × x = $ 49 - $ 10

Or, 3 × x = $ 39

∴ x =
`(39)/(3)`

I.e x = $ 13

Hence The cost of each DVDs is $ 13 . Answer
