Answer:
$13.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Jane bought 3 CDs that were each the same price. So let the price of each CD be ‘x’.
It is given that including sales tax, she paid a total of $45.30.
Also each CD had a tax of $1.50. We need to find out what the price of each CD was before tax.
Since the tax for all 3 CDs was same, the total amount of tax that she paid was:
3 * 1.50 = 4.50
Therefore the total tax on 3 CDs is $4.50
Since we already know the total price she paid for the CDs including taxes, we can find the price of each CD by the following way:
3x + 4.50 = 45.30
3x = 45.30 - 4.50
3x = 40.8
x = 13.6
Therefore the price of each CD before tax is $13.6.
The number is 3. The math is 5 x 3 = 15 15 - 3 = 12
