Question

While shopping at a music store, Rick bought 7 CD’s, all at the same price. The tax was $6.50 and the total was $66.00. What was the price of each CD?

Answer 1

8.50

Explanation:

66-6.50=59.50

59.50 divided by 7 =8.50

Answer 2

$8.50

Explanation:

Subtract the tax from the total price:

66 - 6.50

= 59.5

Then, divide this by 7 to find the cost of each CD:

59.5/7

= 8.5

So, the price of each CD was $8.50
