Does he have enough money? Explain​

Answer 1

We have been given that Toru has $80 to pay for dog grooming. The fee is $72 plus 7.25% tax. We are asked to determine whether Toru has enough money for grooming or not.

The total charges for grooming would be $72 plus 7.25% of $72.

`\text{Total charges for grooming}=\$72+\$72* (7.25)/(100)`

`\text{Total charges for grooming}=\$72+\$72*0.0725`

`\text{Total charges for grooming}=\$72+\$5.22`

`\text{Total charges for grooming}=\$77.22`

Since total cost of grooming is $77.22 and Toru has $80 to pay for grooming, therefore, Toru has enough money for grooming.
