Sallie has $115 which is not enough to buy the skateboard as it costs $119.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Regular price of skateboard = $137.99

Discount = 20% = [tex]\frac{20}{100}=0.2[/tex]

The discounted sale price of the skateboard without tax can be found by multiplying the regular price by 0.2

Discount = 137.99*0.2 = $27.60

Discounted sale price = Regular price - discount

[tex]Discounted\ sales\ price = 137.99-27.60\\Discounted\ sales\ price = \$110.39\\[/tex]

Sales tax = 8% = [tex]\frac{8}{100}=0.08[/tex]

The total amount of sales tax can be found by multiplying the discounted sale price by 0.08

Total cost with sales tax = 110.39*0.08 = $8.83

Total cost of skateboard = Discounted sale price + sales tax

Total cost of skateboard = [tex]110.39+8.83 =\$119.22[/tex]

Sallie has $115 which is not enough to buy the skateboard as it costs $119.22
