Question

Consuela wanted to buy a $40 dress but only had $35.

She noticed that the store was having a 20% off sale. Will she
be able to afford the dress for the discount price? Explain why you think she will or will not be able to afford the dress.

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

20% 40 is 8

8-40=32

tax on $32 is $2.56

2.56+32=34.56

34.56<35
