Bryan has enough to buy skateboard as it will cost $44.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price = $70.00

Discount = 40%

Amount of discount = 40% of original price

Amount of discount = $\frac{40}{100}*70$

Amount of discount = $\frac{2800}{100}$

Amount of discount = $28

Price after discount = Original price - amount of discount

$Price\ after\ discount=70-28 = $42\\$

Sales tax = 7% = $\frac{7}{100} = 0.07$

Sales tax amount = Price after discount (0.07)

$Sales\ tax\ amount= 42(0.07) = $2.94\\$

Price of skateboard = Price after discount + sales tax

Price of skateboard = 42+2.94 = $44.94

Bryan has enough to buy skateboard as it will cost $44.94
