Question

Anthony and Jesus decide that they want to buy a Playstation 5 together. They each have $225. Ray has a Gamestop coupon that gives him 10% off his order, so they decide to go to Gamestop. The price of the Playstation is $499.00. If tax is 7%, will they be able to buy the console? If not, how much money will they have to borrow from their parents?

Answer 1

Yes, they will have enough.

Explanation:

1. $499.00 + 7% = $533.93

2. $225 x 2 = $550

3. $550 - $533.93 = $16.07 left to spend
