Question

Tammy bought 6 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, she paid a total of $94.80. Each CD had a tax of $0.05. What was the price of each CD before tax?

Answer 1

$15.75

Explanation:

first, figure out the value of the tax. that would be 0.30 because there are 6 cds, and each has a tax of 0.05. next, subtract the tax from the total. that would be 94.50. this gives us the price of the cds alone. lastly, divide the toal by 6. 94.50/6=15.75.
