Answer:
$80 is not enough to pay for the service
Explanation:
Let us explain how we can solve the problem with tax added
- If the cost of an item is 100% and the tax added is 5%, what is the cost after tax
- You should add 100% + 5% = 105%, the cost after tax is 105%
- To change the number from percentage form to the normal form divide it by 100
In the question the given is:
∵ The fee to groom the dog is $75
∵ The tax added is 6.75%
→ Assume that the fee of groom = 100%
∴ The fee after-tax = 100% + 6.75% = 106.75%
→ To find the fee after-tax multiply the fee before the tax by
the percentage fee after-tax, remember to change the percentage
to a normal number
∴ The fee after-tax = 75 × 106.75%
∴ The fee after-tax = 75 × (106.75/100)
∴ The fee after-tax = $80.0625
∵ He has $80
∵ $80.0625 > $80
∴ That means he has not enough money to pay for the service
∴ $80 is not enough to pay for the service
