Answer:

Pretty sure It's $1.40

Explanation:

Sylas may not have enough money to buy the shoes with sales tax included. The sales tax on the shoes would be $18.60 (6% of $310), bringing the total cost to $328.60. This leaves Sylas with only $1.40 in his account. However, it is unclear if Sylas has any other sources of income or if he needs to pay for any other expenses. As for Tobias, his grandfather's account had earned $3,000 in simple interest. It is unclear if this is the full balance of the account or just the interest earned.
