Problema Solution

Terry wants to buy a Wii, but he is unsure if he has enough money. The Wii costs $300 and there is a 9% sales tax on it. If he has $325 does he have enough money?

Answer provided by our tutors

cost + 9% of the cost is


300 + 0.9*300 = 1.09*300 = $327


since 325<327 follows he is $2 short.
