You have $60.00. You wish to buy a jacket costing $25.50. You would also like to buy a pair of shorts. There is a 7% sales tax on clothing. What is the top tag price (excludes sales tax) you could pay for the shorts? Can someone help me ??????

Answer: $30.51

Explanation:

Figure out how much the jacket will cost with the sales tax ($27.29)

$60.00 - $27.29 = $32.71

Figure out the net price of $32.71
