To determine if you have enough money to buy the skis, you need to calculate the total cost including the discount and taxes. Here's how you can do that:
1. Calculate the discount amount:
- Regular price: $189
- Discount: 30%
- Discount amount = Regular price * (Discount / 100)
- Discount amount = $189 * (30 / 100) = $56.70
2. Calculate the sale price:
- Sale price = Regular price - Discount amount
- Sale price = $189 - $56.70 = $132.30
3. Calculate the tax amount:
- Tax rate: 13%
- Tax amount = Sale price * (Tax rate / 100)
- Tax amount = $132.30 * (13 / 100) = $17.19
4. Calculate the total cost:
- Total cost = Sale price + Tax amount
- Total cost = $132.30 + $17.19 = $149.49
Now, let's determine if you have enough money to buy the skis:
- Your savings: $130
- Total cost: $149.49
Since $130 is less than $149.49, you do not have enough money to buy the skis.
so, how much do you need?
189.00 * 0.70 * 1.13 = 149.50
