Answer 1

for one 11.75 together 47

Explanation:

the total (including the taxes,) was 50.80,

you need to subtract 3.20 from 50.80, which gives you 47,

and then divide 47 by four which gives you 11.75.

Answer 2

price of 4cd incl. tax = $50.8e

tax for 4 cd:$3.2

price excl. tax for 4cd: 50.8-3.2=$47.6

price 1cd without tax: 47.6/4=$11.9
