Question

Deandre bought 6 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, he paid a total of 96.60. Each CD had a tax of 0.50. What was the price of each CD before tax?

Answer 1

To find the price of each CD before tax, subtract the sales tax from the total cost.

To find the price of each CD before tax, we need to subtract the sales tax from the total cost. There are 6 CDs and the sales tax on each CD is $0.50, so the total sales tax is $0.50 multiplied by 6, which is $3. Now, we can subtract the sales tax from the total cost to find the price of each CD before tax. The total cost is $96.60, so the price of each CD before tax is $96.60 minus $3, which is $93.60.
