149.499, so no, you do not have enough
To answer these questions, we need to follow a step-by-step process. Let's break it down:
a. To find the discount:
The discount is the difference between the original price and the reduced price. Calculate it by multiplying the regular price by the discount percentage:
Discount = Regular price * Discount percentage
In this case:
Discount = $189 * 30% = $56.70.
b. To find the new price:
The new price is the regular price minus the discount.
New price = Regular price - Discount
In this case:
New price = $189 - $56.70 = $132.30.
c. To find the tax:
The tax is a percentage of the new price. Calculate it by multiplying the new price by the tax percentage:
Tax = New price * Tax percentage
In this case:
Tax = $132.30 * 13% = $17.18.
d. To find the total price:
The total price is the new price plus the tax.
Total price = New price + Tax
In this case:
Total price = $132.30 + $17.18 = $149.48.
e. To determine if you have enough money:
Compare your savings ($140) with the total price. If your savings are greater than or equal to the total price, you have enough money.
In this case:
You have saved $140, which is less than the total price of $149.48. Therefore, you do not have enough money.
To summarize:
a. The discount is $56.70.
b. The new price is $132.30.
c. The tax is $17.18.
d. The total price after the discount and tax is $149.48.
e. No, you do not have enough money.
