25.6 -2.4 = 23.2


$23.20 was the original price for both CDs = the after tax price minus the tax


divide by 2 to get the before tax price of each CD


23.2/2 = $11.60

Chris made 3 identical necklaces, each having beads and a pendant. The total cost of the beads and pendants for all 3 necklaces was $19.50. If the beads cost a total of $8.40, how much did each pendant cost?
