Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark has been saving up for a $200 pair of sneakers.

He just noticed that the sneakers he wants are on sale for 35% off. The value of 35% off the sneakers that he wants is

35/100 × 200 = 0.35 × 200 = 70

if his mom tells him she will pay for tax, then the amount that he has to pay for the sneakers is

200 - 70 = $130

He has $120. Therefore, he doesn't have enough money to buy the sneakers.

The amount that he needs to save is

130 - 120 = $10
