Question

Patrick wants to buy shorts that cost $27.95 (there is no tax on the shorts). He also wants to buy a speaker that costs $95. There is a 6.5% tax on the speaker. If he has $130, can he afford everything?

Answer 1

95*6.5%= 6.18

95-6.18=88.82

27.95+88.82= $116.77

Yes he can afford everything
