Givens:
Basically, to answer this question, we have to find the total number of cd's that she bought in such way that after the discount, she pays only $32.
If we think about, 6 cd's cost 6(7)=42, that is, $42, now with the $10 discount, she would pay only $32, which is the final price shown in the problem.
Therefore, Caitlin bought 6 cd's.
