Answer:
A. no, the sale price is about 60% of $65 or $39. Because $38 is less than $39, you do not have enough money.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Discount on sales = 40%
Amount with me = $38
Original sales price = $65.99
Unknown:
Will you have enough money to buy the item = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, let us find the discount amount on the selling price;
= [tex]\frac{40}{100}[/tex] x 65.99
= $26.39
So, the price of the item now = Original sales price - discount amount
= $65.99 - $26.39
= $39.6
$39.6 can also be derived from 60% of $65.99
This amount is more than amount at hand.
