Question

A music store sold 1,112 music CDs one month. This was 20% less than the number of music CDs the store sold the previous month. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the number of music CDs sold the previous month.

x − 0.2x = 1,112

How many music CDs did the store sell in both months combined?

Answer 1

\[x(1-0.2)=1112\]

Answer 2

1112 cds?

Answer 3

No, just factored the x out, divied 1112 by (1-0.2)

Answer 4

\[x= \frac{ 1112 }{ 0.8}; x=1390\]

Answer 5

So combined they sold 1112+1390 cd's
