Answer 2

6 compact discs.

Explanation:

The price of the each compact disc = $13.95

Shipping and handling per order = $1.95

Maria's total bill was = $85.65

Let Maria purchased 'x' compact discs.

13.95x + 1.95 = 85.65

13.95x = 85.65 - 1.95

13.95x = 83.70

x =
`(83.70)/(13.95)`

x = 6

Maria purchased 6 compact discs.
