Answer:

Yes, we have enough money to pay for the groceries.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Groceries cost $75. The tax rate is 5%.

We have to check that will the amount of $80 enough to pay for the groceries or not.

<em>For this we will firstly calculate the total cost of groceries after applying tax rate of 5% on groceries. </em>

Cost of groceries after applying tax rate is given by;

Since we know that by applying a tax on any item it's cost gets increased.

So, <u>Cost of groceries after tax</u> = Cost of groceries before tax + Amount of tax      

Amount of tax = Tax rate \times Cost of groceries

                        = 5% \times $75

                        = \frac{5}{100} \times 75 = $3.75

So, Cost of groceries after tax = $75 + $3.75 = $78.75

Since we have an amount of $80 with us which means that we are able to buy the groceries after giving tax on it as $78.75 < $80.

Therefore, yes we have enough money to pay for the groceries.

dusya [7]

It is 1/11 or 4/44.

Explained:

This is because when you subtract 26 and 22 you get 4 and when you subtract 4 and -45. The 45 then becomes a positive since when you get a negative and a negative you get a positive. Then you simplify it by 11.
