Four CDs and 4 DVDs cost $164. The cost of the 4 CDs is half the cost of the
Andrej [43]

Answer:

$13.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that CD= c and DVDs= d. Four CDs and 4 DVDs cost $164, so the equation will be:

i.  4c + 4d= 164

The cost of the 4 CDs is half the cost of the  4 DVDs, to put into an equation it will be:

ii.   4c= 0.5(4d)

     4c= 2d

     d= 2c

Then we can substitute the second equation (ii) into the first equation (i). The calculation will be:

4c + 4d= 164

4c + 4(2c)= 164

4c+ 8c= 164

12c= 164

c=13.67

The cost for each CD is $13.67

Isabella buys a digital camera and pays $7.20 in sales tax. The tax rate is 6%. What is the original cost of the camera?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
<span>The original cost of the camera is $120.

Explanation:
6%=6/100=0.06. This means to find 6% tax on a sale, we multiply the amount of the sale by 0.06; this gives us 0.06x, since we don't know the cost of the camera.

We know the amount of tax is $7.20, so we have the equation 0.06x=7.20.

Divide both sides by 0.06:
0.06x/0.06 = 7.20/0.06
x=120.</span>
