Question

Carina is going to shop with the $120.00 that she earned from doing chores. She wants to save 25% of her money to put into a savings account. She buys a shirt for $36.00 and a new coat for $40.00, with 5% sales tax on both items. Does Carina still have the amount of money she planned to put into her savings account?

Answer 1

Short and coat: 40+36=76
Sal tax: 76(5%*2)=7.6
Money left: 120-(76-7.6)=51.6≈52
Saving: •120*25%=30
•120-52=68
Yes carina does still have amount of money she planned to put into her saving account
