Question 1185147: Are these correct? I want to check my answers.
Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
Sara wants to purchase new equipment for her home office. The sales tax rate that will apply when she makes her purchase is 6%. Here is a list of items she wants to purchase:
keyboard, $9.99
mouse, $14.99
22-inch monitor, $99.99
chair, $129.99
If Sara has $275 to spend on new equipment for her home office, she (WILL) be able to purchase all of the items on her list because the total of her purchase after applying sales tax is ($270.26).

Sara has $275 and wants to spend:
           $9.99
          $14.99
          $99.99
         $129.99
subtotal $254.96

6% sales tax 

      254.96+0.06*254.96=270.26

She will still have unspent, $4.74.
