Answer:

the cost of the three new CDs is $44.28

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the cost of 3 new CDs cost.

From the question, we already know the cost of one. The cost of three would be 3 multiplied by the cost of one.

The cost of the three excluding the sales tax = $13.79 * 3 = $41.37

The sales tax for the three pieces = 3 * $0.97 = $2.91

The cost of the three CDs including the sales tax = $41.37 + $2.91 = $44.28
