5

Explanation:

Cash at hand = $59.95

Price of one CD is $11.99

Number of CD that can be purchased = X

With this above information, we can write

        1 CD = $11.99     (1)

        X CD = $59.95  (2)

cross multiplying the above equations, we have

X x $11.99 = 1 x $59.95

$11.99X = $59.95

To calculate the value of X, divide both sides by $11.99

we have,

          $11.99X = $59.95

          $11.99       $11.99

              X     =     5

The value of X is 5.  

Therefore, $59.95 will buy 5 CDs at $11.99ea.

I hope this helps.
