Question

Sarah wanted to buy a TV. She had $390 in her pocket. The TV she wanted was $415; however she had a 10% off coupon. The sales tax is 6%. Does she have enough money to purchase the TV?

Answer 1

Answer: Sarah does not have enough money to purchase the TV.

Explanation: The total price is $395.91.

Answer 2

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of 415

= 1/10 of 415

= 1/10 * 415

= $41.5

415 - 41.5 = $ 373.5

6% of 415

= 6% * 415

= $24.9

∴ $373.5 + $24.9 = $398.4

∴ Sarah cannot buy the TV as she is $ 8.4 short.
