Jorge bought 3 DVDs, each for the same price, and a set of earphones for a price of $10. The total cost before tax was $49. What was the cost of one DVD?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The cost of each DVDs is $ 13   .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The cost of earphones = $ 10

The number of DVDs bought = 3

The total cost of both items before tax = $ 49

Let The cost of each DVDs = $ x

So, According to question

The cost of earphones + The cost of 3 DVDs  = $ 49

Or, $ 10 + 3 × x = $ 49

Or,  3 × x = $ 49 - $ 10

Or,  3 × x = $ 39

∴  x = [tex]\frac{39}{3}[/tex]

I.e x = $ 13

Hence The cost of each DVDs is $ 13   . Answer
