Tori takes his dog to be groomed. The fee to groom the dog is $75 plus 6.75% tax. Is 80$ enough to pay for the service?

Ok, so if you have $75 and have to pay a % of tax, you move the decimal two spaces to the left then multiply the decimal by 75. So, .0675x75= $5.06 tax, then add 5.06 and 75 which is $80.06, so he does not have enough to pay.
