Question

Dave has $60 to spend on a new hockey jersey.

Select all of the following options that Dave can afford.

Answer Choices

A $55 jersey with 5% tax added to the total.


A $57 jersey bought online that requires an additional 10% shipping fee.


A $72 jersey with 8% tax.


A jersey that is 25% off of the original price of $85.

Answer 1

Dave can buy the $55 jersey with the 5% tax.
This is how to find the answer:

Multiply 55*.05. This will equal 2.75.
Add 2.75 to 55. This will equal 57.75.
This is also below the amount that Dave wants to spend.
