I think she is 39 because twice jasmine age 22 * 2 is 44 minus 5 which is 39
I always had trouble doing percents, but my last algebra teacher taught me an easy way, where you turn the percent into a decimal.
Maria: to find 25% of 26.50, you multiply 26.50 by 0.25 to get 6.625. now, you subtract 6.625 from 26.50 to get 19.875. which would round to 19.88$. To find the 10% sales tax, you multiply 19.88 by 0.10 or 0.1 to get 1.988. that would round to 2.00. She would then add 19.88 and 2.00 to get 21.88$.
Edwin: I am not even sure how to figure out Edwin's math, his is not even comprehendible for me.
When I'm shopping, I always use Maria's method to figure out the price of things, therefore, I am 99% sure she is correct and Edwin is not. If it said that they both came with 23$, and the price of the book is now only 21.88, then yes, they have enough money to purchase the book.
and sorry this took long, I'm multitasking.
