Respuesta :

Answer:

we know that

Victoria has $125 to spend

[purchase price skateboard]=$139.99-0.15*$139.99-----> $139.99-$21

[purchase price skateboard]=$118.99

sales tax is 7%----------> 0.07*$118.99----------> $8.33

sales tax is $8.33

Victoria has to pay [$118.99]+[$8.33]=$127.32

$127.32 > $125

therefore

Victoria has not enough money to buy the skateboard

the answer is

Victoria has not enough money to buy the skateboard
