You take $10 to the store to purchase new school supplies. There is 5 percent sales tax and your bill, prior to tax, comes to $9.68. Do you have enough money to buy the supplies?


A. Yes


B. No

Answer 1

The 1000th place is the 3rd number to the right of the decimal point.

You need to look at the fourth number, if it is a 5 or higher, you round the 3rd number up, if it is lower than 5 the 3rd number stays what it is.

3,333.8485

The fourth number is a 5, so you would round the third number, which is an 8 up to 9.

The number becomes E. 3,333.849

Rain total would be adding all the days together:

3 + 2.58 + 1.2 + 1.3 + 0.68 + 0.5 + 2.15 = 11.41

The answer is D. 11.41

Multiply the bill by 5% and add it to the bill to get the total with tax:

9.68 x 0.05 = 0.484 = 0.48

9.68 + 0.48 = 10.16

$10.16 is greater than $10, so you don't have enough money.

The answer is B. No
