In order to find the price difference between a book and a CD player, you can use the information provided. Let's find out how! Given that Noah paid $56 for a book and a CD player, and the CD player cost 6 times as much as the book, we can represent the price of the book as "x" and the price of the CD player as "6x". Since the total cost of both items is $56, we can set up the equation: x + 6x = 56 Combining like terms, we have: 7x = 56 To isolate "x", we divide both sides of the equation by 7: x = 56 / 7 Simplifying, we find that x = 8. Since the book is priced at x = 8, and the CD player is priced at 6x = 6(8) = 48, the price difference between the two items is $48 - $8 = $40. Therefore, the price difference between the book and the CD player is $40.
