Ms. Wright looks at the menu in a restaurant. She wants to order a bowl of salad priced at $13.10 and a glass of fruit juice priced at $5.90. There are a 5% sales tax and a 3% meals tax on all food and beverages. Is she able to pay for her meal with $20? Explain your reasoning.

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No, she is not able to pay for her meal with 20 dollars. The first step to solve this problem is to add up 13.10 and 5.90 so you can see how much money Ms. Wright has to spend on the food and drinks alone. 13.10 + 5.90 is 19. Since there are 5% and 3% of taxes on all food and beverages, there is 8% in total of taxes. 8% of 19 is 1.52. 19 plus 1.52 is 20.52 which is greater than 20. Therefore, Ms. Wright cannot pay for her meal with 20 dollars.
