Question

Sara has $65 and wants to buy the following items from a store. Board game: $14.95 Building blocks: $25.49 Art kit: $35.79 At the store, all items are one-fourth off of the original price and there is a 5% sales tax. Sara wants to know if she can buy all of these items. Which statement is TRUE?

Answer 1

The correct statement is Sara can afford to purchase the items because the final price of the items is $60.

The first step is to determine the total cost of the items Sara wants to buy. The total cost can be determined by adding the cost of the items together.

Total cost = $14.95 + $25.49 + $35.79 = $76.23

The second step is to determine the cost of the items after the discount.

Price of the items = total cost x (1 - discount)

= total cost x (1 - 1/4)

total cost x 3/4

$76.23 x 3/4 = $57.17

The third step is to determine the cost of the items after tax.

Cost = (1.05) x $57.17 =$60.03
