Let x be the price of each CD before tax.
Since Yoko bought 6 CDs, the total price before tax would be 6x.
The total price after tax for the 6 CDs would be 6x + 6(1.30) = 6x + 7.80.
Since the total price including tax was 69.60, we can write the equation:
6x + 7.80 = 69.60
Subtracting 7.80 from both sides:
6x = 61.80
Dividing by 6:
x = 10.30
Therefore, the price of each CD before tax was $10.30.
Yoko bought 6 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, she paid a total of 69.60. Each CD had a tax of 1.30. What was the price of each CD before tax?
