Answer 1

$56.70

$132.30

$17.199

$149.499

No

Explanation:

Given that:

Regular price of skis = $189

Discount % = 30%

Amount saved = $140

After sales tax = 13%

a. What is the discount?

Discount amount = Regular price * discount %

Discount amount = $189 * 0.30

Discount amount = $56.70

b. What is the new price?

Regular price - Discount amount

$189 - $56.70

= $132.30

c. What is the tax?

Sales tax = new price * tax %

Sales tax = $132.30 * 0.13

Sales tax = $17.199

d. What was the total price of the shoes, after the discount and tax?

New price + sales tax

= $132.30 + $17.199

= $149.499

e. Do you have enough money?

No

$149.499 > $140
