you will take 22 and multiply it by .05 and you will get $1.10. After that you add the 1.1 to 22 and get $23.10 in total so yes he will have enough money

Since the sales tax is 5% (.05), in order to arrive at the total amount to be paid including the sales tax you muat multiply the amount of the purchase item $22 by 1.05 and the answer is $23.10.
