Question

At the mall in Miami, Roberto found a jacket he liked. The normal price was $120, but the jacket was on sale for 40% off. If Roberto has $50 to spend, does he have enough to buy the jacket? If not, how much more money does he need?

Answer 1

Answer: No, He will need $22 to add to his money to buy jacket.

Explanation:

Normal price of jacket =$120,

New price = 40% off which means 40% Less than the Normal price

= 40/ 100 x 120

=0.4 x 120 = 48; 120 -48= $72

New Price = $72

Therefore Roberto with $50 to spend does not have enough to buy the jacket

He will need $72- $50 =$22 to add to his money to buy jacket.
