Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of a sweater = $42

The sweater is on sale for 30% off, so the new price of the sweater is

[tex]\$42-0.3\cdot \$42=\$29.40[/tex]

The sales tax is 5%, so Kensington has to pay for the new sweater

[tex]\$29.40+0.05\cdot \$29.40=\$30.87[/tex]

Since [tex]\$30<\$30.87,[/tex] Kensingtone does not have enough money.
