Toru has $80 to pay for dog grooming. The fee is $72 plus 7.25% tax.
Does he have enough money? Explain​

Answer 1

We have been given that Toru has $80 to pay for dog grooming. The fee is $72 plus 7.25% tax. We are asked to determine whether Toru has enough money for grooming or not.

The total charges for grooming would be $72 plus 7.25% of $72.

$\text{Total charges for grooming}=\ 72+\ 72\times \frac{7.25}{100}$

$\text{Total charges for grooming}=\ 72+\ 72\times0.0725$

$\text{Total charges for grooming}=\ 72+\ 5.22$

$\text{Total charges for grooming}=\ 77.22$

Since total cost of grooming is $77.22 and Toru has $80 to pay for grooming, therefore, Toru has enough money for grooming.
