Answer:

Yes Nate has enough for the groceries.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the 6% tax you have to do 46 * .06=2.76

2.76 Is the tax that would be charged, So Nate's total would be $48.76 which is under his $50 dollar limit.

Answer:

The correct answer is Yes, he will have enough money to buy everything in his cart.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must analyze the data:

We know the total that Nate has to spend is $ 50.

He bought products for a total of $ 46.

Now what we must find out is if by adding 6% to the total of that purchase, his money will be enough to pay.

One of the ways to get the percentage could be multiplying the total of the purchase by the total of the percentage, and to the result obtained divide it by 100.

So:

(46 x 6) / 100 = 48.76

Another way to know what the value of the percentage you should pay would be to multiply the total purchase by 0.06. That will result in 2.76. If we add it to the total that was 46, we will reach the same result of 48.76.

With 48.76 being the final result of the entire purchase, we can say yes, Nate will have enough money to buy everything in his cart.
