ANSWER:
The sale price of a new compact disc player is $212 at a local discount store. Kyle bought 6 CDs.
SOLUTION:
Given, the sale price of a new compact disc player is $212 at a local discount store.
At the store where this sale is going on, each new CD is on sale for $12 each.
Kyle purchases a player and some CDs for $284.
Let the number of CD be x.
Total amount = amount for CD palyer + amount for CDs.
284 = 212 + number of CDs x amount of one CD.
284 = 212 + x ⅹ 12
12x = 284 – 212
12x = 72 = 6
Hence, Kyle bought 6 CDs.
