Question

Nate has $50 to spend at the grocery store. He fills his shopping cart with items totaling $46.At checkout he will have to pay 6 percent sales tax on all items in the cart.Does he have enough money to buy everything in his cart

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

6% tax means he has to pay 106% of the bill.

106% of 46

106/100 × 46 = $48.76

He has $50, so he does have sufficient money

Answer 2

yes nate has enough for the groceries.

Explanation:

to get the 6% tax you have to do 46 * .06=2.76

2.76 is the tax that would be charged, so nate's total would be $48.76 which is under his $50 dollar limit.
