Taylor had $60 dollars to buy a new pair of sneakers. He saw a pair he really liked that originally cost $72 but were on sale for 15% off. Does Taylor have enough money to buy them on sale?

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

72 times 0.15=10.8

72-10.8=61.2

No. Taylor doesn't have enough.

You could also have done 72 times 0.85, and then you wouldn't have had to minus 10.8 and all those stuff.

Hope this helps!
