Answer 1

Yes, he can.

Explanation:

To find the sale, you need to times the sale percentage by the original price so

60 x 0.50 = 30

Then you subtract the original price by the sale price so

60 - 30 = 30

So the with the sale, the price is $30.

Now the tax

Do the same

30 x 0.045 = 1.35

Now instead of subtracting you add so

30 + 1.35 = $31.35

Yes, he can afford it.
