Question

Grace needs to buy a new printer. The printer she wants has a price tag of $60. She has a 25% off coupon and $50 in her bank account. If she must pay 6.75% sales tax, will she have enough money to buy the printer? If yes, how much will she have left over? If no, how much is she short?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, she will have $1.96 left

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial cost : $60

Discount : 25%=0.25

Calculating discount : 60 * 0.25 = 15

Calculating cost after discount : 60-15 = 45

Sales tax : 6.75%=0.0675

Calculating sales tax : 45 * 0.0675 = 3.0375≈$3.04

Calculating final cost : 45+ 3.04 = $48.04

Can she buy the printer : 50 - 48.04= $1.96

Answer : yes
