Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Calculate the amount of the sales tax, which is 8% of $89:

The total cost comes to $89.00 + $7.12 = $96.12, which is less than $100. So the answer is yes, Marie has enough money to by the outfit.

yes she does if you multiply 89.00 by the sales tax which is 0.08 you’ll get 7.12 then you add that to 89.00 which gives you 96.12 so yes she will have enough to buy the outfit
