Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lamar bought 3 CDs that were each the same price, including sales tax he paid a total of 40.20.

Of that total,2.70 was tax.

Now, to find the price of each CD before tax.

$40.20-2.70=37.50$

$37.50\div3=12.50$

Therefore, the price of each CD before tax is $12.50.
