Respuesta :

Answer:

The have 7.33 extra

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to find the discount

Discount = original price * discount rate

               = 129.99 * 15%

                = 129.99*.15

                 =19.50

Take the discount from the original price and that is the new price

new price = original price - discount

                 = 129.99-19.50

                 110.49

Now we need to find the tax

tax = new price * tax rate

       = 110.49 * 6.5%

       = 110.49 * .065

        =7.18

The final price is the new price plus the tax

final price = new price + tax

                 = 110.49+7.18

                 =117.67

This is less than 125, so they have enough money

125 - 117.67 = 7.33
