Answer:the cost of each CD for a member is $5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The membership costs $22 per year, and then a member can buy CDs at a reduced price.

Let x represent the cost of each CD for a member.

Let n represent the number of CDs that each member buys. This means that the total cost of buying n CDs for a member for a year would be

22 + nx

If a member buys 17 CDs in one year, the cost is $111.25. This means that

17x + 22 = 111.25

17x = 111.25 - 22 = 89.25

x = 89.25/175 = 5.25
