Question

Connie has saved up $15 to purchase a new CD from the local store. The sales tax in her county is 5% of the sticker price. Write an equation and solve it to determine the value of the highest priced CD Connie can purchase with her $15, including the sales tax. Round your answer to the nearest penny.

x + 0.05x = 15; x = $14.29

x - 0.05x = 15; x = $15.79

0.5x = 15; x = $30

5x = 15; x = $3.00

Answer 1

im thinking its the 3rd one

Answer 2

im not 100% sure tho

Answer 3

5% = .05

so Connie would have to pay for the CD + tax of .05 of the price of the CD

x + .05x = 15

Answer 4

i belive its the third

Answer 5

yea cause it says to round it
