Tess and dan have $24.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 15% discount. they both want to purchase a copy of the same book, which normally sells for $24.50 plus 10% sales tax. to check if she has enough to purchase the book, tess takes 15% of $24.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. she takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount. dan takes 85% of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price. is tess correct? is dan correct? do they have enough money to purchase the book? explain your answer using complete sentences and show your work. ! how do i do this?

Tess is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, to find out the new discounted price without the sales tax, you multiply $24.50 by 15% (0.15). This gives you $3.68. You then subtract the $3.68 from $24.50. You get $20.82. To find the total with sales tax you then multiply the $20.82 by 10% (0.1). You add the discounted price with the sales tax and get the conclusion that they have enough money for the book.

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested
