Question

Milan bought 3 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, he paid a total of $44.40. Each CD had a tax of $1.30. What was the price of each CD before tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

$13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are given that the tax per CD is  $1.30

Hence for the 3 CDs the total tax = 3*1.3= $3.9

Also, the cost of the three CDs before tax = 44.4-3.9

=$40.5

Hence the cost of each CD before tax is

=40.5/3

=$13.5
