Question

While at the music store, Drew bought 5 CDs, all at the same price. The tax on his purchase was $6 and the total was $61. Write and solve an equation to determine the price of each CD

Answer 1

Answer:

The price per CD that Drew bought=$11

Step-by-step explanation:

Margie's total cost can be expressed as;

C=(p×n)+t

where;

C=total cost

p=price per unit of CD

n=number of CD bought

t=tax on purchase

In our case;

C=$61

p=unknown

n=5

t=$6

replacing;

61=(5×p)+6

5 p+6=61

5 p=61-6

5 p=55

p=55/5

p=11

The price per CD that Drew bought=$11
