Question

Alec had $200 and spent $155 on gifts for his family he found a pair of jeans for himself for 60% that are currently 25% off does he have enough to buy himself these jeans

Answer 1

No, Alec does not have enough money to buy the jeans.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if Alec has enough money to buy himself the jeans, we need to calculate the cost of the jeans after the discount. First, we calculate 60% of the original price: $200 x 0.60 = $120. Then, we calculate the discounted price by subtracting 25% from the original price: $120 - ($120 x 0.25) = $90. Since Alec spent $155 on gifts, he has $200 - $155 = $45 left. Therefore, Alec does not have enough money to buy the jeans, as they cost $90.
