Question

Keiko bought 2 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax,she paid a total of $34.20. Of that total, $1.80 was tax. What was the price of each CD before tax.

Answer 1

The cost of each CD without tax us $16.20

Explanation:

Given that:

Price to two CDs with tax = $34.20

Tax = $1.80

Cost of CDs without tax = Total cost - Amount of tax

Cost of CDs without tax = 34.20 - 1.80 = $32.40

Price of each CD =
`(32.40)/(2)`

Price of each CD = $16.20

Hence,

The cost of each CD without tax us $16.20
