      I'm not going to do the maths for you, but here's the method.

      The total cost of $52.92 includes 8% sales tax, which means that this is 108% of the cost of the CD's. You need to calculate the nett cost by dividing the total by 108 and multiplying the result by 100.
      When you have worked out the total for the CDs excluding tax, it only remains to divide that total by 4 to get the cost of each individual CD.

      Good luck.
