Question

A store is selling blank CDs in packages of 25 for $5. Write ans solve a multiplication equation to find the costof one blank CD.

Answer 1

let C= $ per cd

$5.00= 25 (cd's) * C ( $/cd )       // divide by 25 to both sides of the equation

 

$5.00 / 25 (cd's) = C ( $/cd )

 

$0.20 ( $/cd) = C ($/cd)      // a single cd costs twenty cents ($0.20)
