You have a $30 gift card from amazon that you use to purchase two t-shirts for a total of $25. the sales tax is 8%. will your gift card cover the cost? write an expressions and solve. explain your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of the two T-shirts that you purchased is $25. The sales tax on the T-shirts is 8%. This means that the additional amount that you will pay on the T shirt is

25/100 × 25 = 0.25 × 25 = $6.25

The new cost of the T shirt would be the sum of the original cost and the value of the sales tax. Therefore,

New cost = 25 + 6.25 = $31.25

You have a $30 gift card from Amazon. The new cost of the shirts is higher than that value of the gift card. So the gift card will not cover the cost of the T shirts

answer: 2530

hope this

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
