Question

Help plz will give branlist Derek’s favorite clothing store is having their annual fall sale. All clothing is 25 percent off. A shirt he really likes has an original price of $28. Derek has $24 in his wallet. He is wondering if he has enough money to buy the shirt now that it is on sale. He knows he must also pay sales tax. The sales tax rate is 8 percent and is calculated on the discounted price. Does Derek have enough money to buy the shirt? Justify your answer. Your explanation should contain answers to the following questions: 1. What is the amount of the discount? 2. What is the sale price? 3. How much will Derek pay in sales tax? 4. What is the total cost of the shirt? 5. Does Derek have enough money to buy the shirt?

Answer 1

28 * .25 = 7

He can take $7 dollars off the price of the shirt. That is the discount

28 -7 = 21

The sale price is $21.00

21*.08 =1.68

He will pay$1.68 in sales tax

21+1.68 = 22.68

The total cost of the shirt plus the sales tax is $22.68

24 - 22.68 = 1.32

He will have $1.32 left in his wallet after buying the shirt, so he has enough money
