Ismael Noble · Answer 1

16.6 / cd

Step-by-step explanation:

if the tax was. 90 for each CD, you times that by 3 bc there are 3.

.90*3 = 2.7

If the total was 52.50, then subtract 2.7 to get the price for the 3 cds without tax.

52.50-2.7 = $49.8

Divide 49.8 by 3 because there are 3 cds and you get 16.6, which is the price for one cd before tax
