Question

Jessica has $50 to spend on new clothes. The jacket that she wants to buy is $48.20. If the tax rate is 6% does Jessica have enough to buy the jacket?

Answer 1

Explanation:

She has 50$. A jacket is on for 48.20$. The tax is 6% of the product you buy.

6% = 0.06

To find 6% you do:

0.06*48.20

Which is 2.892.

You ADD 2.892 to the price.

48.20+2.892=

51.092. Round it:

51.09 > 50.00

No, she does not have enough.
