A video game is on sale at Amazon for 35% off the original price of $28.50. Both Pat and Henri want to purchase the game, but they only have $21 each. They will have to pay 10% sales tax. Pat and Henri have different strategies to calculate the price and decide if they have enough money to get the game. Pat takes 35% of $28.50 and subtracts that from the original price. She takes 10% of the sale price and adds it to the sale price to find the total amount she would have to pay.

Henri finds 65% of the original price and then calculates 110% of the sale price.

Will Henri's strategy calculate the correct total? Explain the calculations.
