Question

Kala bought 6 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, she paid a total of $97.20. Each CD had a tax of $1.30. What was the price of each CD before tax?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The total tax Kala paid on the CDs was $1.30/CD * 6 CDs = $1.3*6=7.80.The total cost of the CDs before tax was $97.20 - $7.80 = $97.2-7.8=89.40.The price of each CD before tax was $89.40 / 6 CDs = $89.4/6=14.90/CD. Answer: 14.90.
