Reuben bought 5CDS that were each the same priceIncluding sales tax, he paid a total of \$81.50. Each CD had a tax of $0.60. what was the price of each cs before tax ?

The price of each CD before tax is $15.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of CDs bought by Reuben = 5

Cost of five CDs = $81.50

Sales tax on each CD = $0.60

Sales tax on 5 CDs = 0.60*5 = $3.00

Price of CDs without tax = 81.50 - 3.00 = $78.50

Price of each CD =

Price of each CD =

Price of each CD = $15.70

Hence,

The price of each CD before sales tax is $15.70

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough
