Joe bought 6 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, he paid a total of $80.40 . Each CD had a tax of $1.30 . What was the price of each CD before tax?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$12.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of each CD before tax=x

Total number of CD=6

Total price of 6 CD including tax=$80.40

Tax of each CD=$1.30

We have to find the price of each CD before tax.

Total tax of 6 CD=[tex]6\times 1.30=[/tex]$7.8

Total price of CD=Price of CD before tax+ tax of 6 CD

[tex]80.40=6x+7.8[/tex]

[tex]6x=80.40-7.8[/tex]

[tex]6x=72.6[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{72.6}{6}=12.1[/tex]

Hence, the price of each CD before tax=$12.1
