Answer:

Explanation:

1. A ticket at the NBA championship game costs $200 each. You will be given a discount of 8% if you buy early.

Your parents gave your $570

a) How much will you pay if you buy early.

$200 * 0.08 = $16 (how much you get off)

$200 - $16 = $184

This means that you will pay $184 for each ticket if you buy early.

b) Opps the tax is 4.5%.

4.5/100 = 0.045

$184 * 0.045 = $8.28 (how much you will be paying for tax)

c) How much will you pay including tax?

$184 + $8.28 = $192.28

d) How much will you pay for your two brothers?

You + your two brothers = 3 people

$192.28 * 2 = $384.56

Total for all 3 people: $192.28 + $384.56 = $576.84

e) Do you still have money for popcorn if your parents will give you $570.00?

The total cost of the tickets for you and your brothers is $576.84.

$576.84 is greater than $570.

So, no. You won't have money for popcorn.

Hope this helps!
