Question

Diane bought 3 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, she paid a total of $32.10. Of that total, $1.80 was tax. What was the price of each CD before tax?

Answer 1

$32.10 minus the tax $1.80 equals $30.30 without tax

then divide the cost without tax ($30.30) by the amount of CDs (3)

the cost of each CD before tax is $10.10

Answer 2

All you have to do is take $32.10 and then subtract 1.80. So it should look like 32.10 - $1.80. The answer should be 30.30
