: You are taking a trip to Switzerland. You are at the bank exchanging $600 for Swiss francs. The exchange rate is 1.5 francs per dollar, and the bank charges a 1.5% fee to make the exchange.
You brought $10 extra with you to pay the exchange fee. Do you have enough to pay the fee?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are being asked to see whether 10+%3E=+0.015%2A600
Is it?
10+%3E=+0.015%2A600
10+%3E=+9
Yes it is.
But let me ask you this, if you had brought $700, would you have enough?
10+%3E=+0.015%2A700
10+%3E=+10.5
So I guess you would say 'no'. But you would be wrong. You still have the original $700 to draw from. So either where, you'll have enough :)
