18×7%=1.26

Yes, Torri does have enough.
How to find the answer:
Find the decimal of 7% which is 0.07
Multiply 0.07 times $18 which gives you 1.26
0.07 x 18 = 1.26
Add 1.26 to 18 which gives us 19.26
1.26 + 18 = 19.26
Our finale answer is 19.26
Torri has enough money to buy her dad the DVD.
Hope this helps! =)
