Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Yes, Kevin will have enough money to buy the gift, he will pay $23,10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by analyzing the information we have.

We know Kevin has a total of $ 24.

He wants to buy a gift that costs $ 22, but has a 5% tax added to that price.

We must determine what the value of the tax is in order to know if Kevin will have enough money to buy that gift.

We will do that by multiplying the value of the gift by 0.05:

22 x 0.05 = 1.10

The tax being 1.10 and adding it to the price of the gift:

22 + 1.10 = 23.10

We can verify that Kevin will spend 23.10. Therefore, the money will be enough.
