Answer: No, as the total cost of the 3 shirts w/ sales tax is $45.36 and she only has $45.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by finding the price of one shirt on sale.
[tex]18*0.2[/tex]
This equals 3.6 which is how much will be deducted from the original price.
One shirt costs [tex]18-3.6\\[/tex] when its 20% off.
This is equal to $14.40.
Since she wants to buy 3 of them we just multiply the $14.40 by 3.
[tex]14.4*3=\\[/tex]
This equals $43.2 but this is without a 5% sales tax which is normally added to the total end price.
To add a sales tax you take the sales tax percent plus 1 and multiply it to the $43.2.
[tex]43.2*1.05=\\[/tex]
This means the total price of Kayla's purchase will be $45.36.
This is over her $45 she has so she can not buy it.
