If Janet buys a bag for $45.50 and the tax is 5% and she has $60, will she have enough money to buy a $12 movie ticket?

Answer: Yesiirr

Step-by-step explanation:

45.50 x. 05 is 2.28 (rounded) then add that to 45.50 then add 12 then you get 59.78

In this equation, we're trying to find if she has enough money to buy a $12 movie ticket.

We know that she buys a bag for $45.50, with a 5% tax rate. Let's calculate the total cost of the bag after tax.

45.50 · 1.05 = 47.775

Round to the nearest hundredths place

$47.78

She spent $47.78 on the bag.

She has $60, so calculate how much money she has left.

60 - 47.78 = 12.22

She has $12.22 left to spend.

This means that she has enough money to buy the movie ticket.

She would also have 22 cents left to spare.

Answer:

Yes, she has enough money to buy the movie ticket
