Do 60 divided by 4 ( 25 percent) which is 15. 60-15 is 45. 45 plus 45 is 90 so yes he has enough money to buy two watches

Answer : The peter can buy 2 watches.

Step-by-step explanation :

Peter has total money = $100

Original price of a watch = $60

Discount % = 25 %

First we have to determine the price of a watch after discount.

Price of a watch =
$(25)/(100)* \$ 60=\$ 15$

Price of a watch after discount = Original price - Price of a watch at the time of discount

Price of a watch after discount =$60 - $15

Price of a watch after discount = $45

Now we have to determine the price of 2 watches.

Price of 2 watches = 2 × $45

Price of 2 watches = $90

From this we conclude that, peter can buy 2 watches because he has $100 money that is more than the price of 2 watches.

Thus, the peter can buy 2 watches.
