Question

Marla has $20 to spend on a bed for her dog. The bed she likes is priced at $18.50, and the sales tax is 6%. Does Marla have enough money for the total cost of the bed? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes, because 6% tax of $18.50 is $1.11 and if you add the tax to the amount of the bed the total cost will be $19.61
