Ray looked in the local Sunday Advertisement and noticed Footlocker had the new Jordans on sale for $30.00 off with the purchase of a Jordan T-shirt. The shirt cost $12.99. The regular price of the Jordans is $189.00. There is a sales tax of 7% that is applied to the sale cost. Ray has a budget of $189.00 to spend. Will he have enough money to purchase the t-shirt, and the Jordans on sale?

Answer 1

Ray has enough money to purchase the t-shirt and the Jordans on sale.

Explanation:

Regular cost of Jordans =$
`189.00`

Cost of Jordan's T-shirt = $
`12.99`

Total cost = $
`189.00` + $
`12.99` = $
`201.99`

Discount offered on purchase of T-shirt = $
`30.00`

Price after discount = $
`201.99` - $
`30.00` =$
`171.99`

Sales tax =
`7`%

Tax to be added = $
`171.99*(7)/(100)` = $
`12.04`

Final price = $
`171.99` + $
`12.04` =$
`184.03`

Amount Ray has = $
`189.00`

∴ Ray has enough money to purchase the t-shirt and the Jordans on sale.
