Each cd cost x.
4 cds cost 4x.
Shipping was 5, so the cds plus shipping cost 4x + 5.
The cds cost 48.96, so

4x + 5 = 48.96

4x = 43.96

x = 10.99

Answer: each cd cost $10.99

First you want to take away the price of shipping by subtracting. Then you want to divide by the number of CD's which in this case is 4.

1) Subtract: $48.96 - $5.00 = $43.96
2) Divide: $43.96/4 = $10.99

Answer: $10.99
