Question

Caitlin has a $10 gift certificate to the music store. She has chosen a number of CDs from the $7 bargain bin. If the cost of the CDs is $32 after the gift certificate is credited, which equation could be used to determine how many CDs did Caitlin buy?

Answer 1

32+10=7x

Explanation:

Let's solve this first. 32$ is the final price, and then add 10$ because of the gift card, leaving you with 42$. Divide the 42 by 7, because each CD is 7 dollars. The result is 6. So put that into an equation.

32+10=42=7x

x=6!

Hope this helps :3
