Question

Jane's flight to an all-star track meet was cancelled due to a storm. The airline gave Jane a

voucher for $10 to spend at any vendor in the airport. Jane can only use the voucher at one
vendor and, according to the voucher rules, no change will be given. Any money not spent on
the voucher is lost. If a bottle of soda costs $2.50 plus an additional 6% sales tax, how many
bottles of soda could Jane buy? *

Answer 1

3

Explanation

3 x 2.50 = 7.50

7.50 x 0.06 = 0.45

7.50 + 0.45 = 7.95

So, she would be able to buy 3 sodas and it would cost $7.95
