Martina bought 5 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, she paid a total of $59.50. Each CD had a tax of 0.60. What was the price of each CD before tax?

Question

I'm super confused, I tried it in this app called ALEKS and I got it wrong. I'm frustrated and I've tried so many times.

Any expert that can help, Please do so! :(

Answer 1

59.50/5= $11.90 per CD = after tax price

tax of 60 cents per CD

price before the tax = 11.90-60 = $11.30
