Marlene went to Macy's and bought a dress for a birthday party. She fell in love with a red

one that had a 20% discount. Her mom said she could pay the taxes only if the total of the
dress was less than $150.00. If the price of the dress before mark off was $185.00, would
Marlene be able to buy the dress she wants? Explain.

Markene would be able to buy the dress because 180-20% is 148 and 148<150 meaning that her mom would pay the taxes
