Answer 1

The price of each CD before tax was $15.30.

Explanation:

Given:

Miguel bought 6 CDs that were each the same price.

Including sales tax, he paid a total of $99.60.

Each CD had a tax of $1.30.

Now, to find the price of each CD before tax:

So, to get the price of 1 CD including tax by using unitary method:

Total price of 6 CDs including tax = $99.60.

So, the price of 1 CD including the sales tax = $99.60 ÷ 6 = $16.60.

Thus, the price of each CD including tax = $16.60.

Tax on each CD = $1.30.

Now, by subtracting we get the price of each CD before tax:

`\$16.60-\$1.30`

`=\$15.30.`

Therefore, the price of each CD before tax was $15.30.
