Justin takes his cat to be groomed. The fee to groom the cat is $65 plus 5.75% tax. Is $70 enough to pay for the service?

Answer:

Yes, it is

Explanation:

You have to multiply 65 times .0575 to get the amount of money the TAX ALONE will be and you get 3.7375 which rounds up to $3.74 in taxes. Then you add it to the fee to groom the cat and you get $68.74
