however many you buy, the total equals 112.  so the 112 is what the cost of the cd's is equal to.  112=   Now we need to decide the other side.  If each cd costs 16, the thing in question is how many you buy.  x will be how many you buy, it's the unknown, the only thing you do not know for sure.  So if each cd costs 16, and you buy x amount of cd's at 16 apiece, what is the expression for that?
