Donna bought 5 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, she paid a total of 67.50 . Each CD had a tax of 1.10 . What was the price of each CD before tax?

Question

How do i do this i need help :(

Answer 1

First, find the price of each CD including tax, we know that they're all the same price so we can find this by division. Next, we subtract the amount of sales tax:

$67.50/5 = $13.5

$13.50 - $1.10 = $12.40

Each CD was $12.40 before tax.
