Question

Bummer! Kai lives in California and of course, he has to pay sales tax! The sales tax rate is 8.75%. Now, does he have enough money to bring the backpack of his dream home?

(Original price: $88.95, 40% off and Kai has $55.00 saved up so far.)

Answer 1

He does have enough money to bring the backpack home !!

Explanation:

88.95 * .40 = 35.58

88.95 - 35.58 = 53.37

53.37 * .0875 = 4.669875

53.37 - 4.66 = $48.71 (Price of the backpack)
