(03.01 mc)oscar and kim have $22.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 30% discount. they both want to purchase a copy of the same book, which normally sells for $28.50 plus 10% sales tax. to check if he has enough to purchase the book, oscar takes 30% of $28.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. he takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount. kim takes 70% of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price. is oscar correct? is kim correct? do they have enough money to purchase the book? explain your answer using complete sentences, and show your work.

They are both correct.
By multiplying the original price of the book by 30%. Oscar is finding the amount of the discount. He then takes the discount off of the original price by subtraction. 28.50 * .30 = 8.55; 28.50-8.55 = 19.95; After he finds the new price he calculates the tax and adds it to the book price. 19.95 * .10 = 2.00 = $21.95
Instead of finding the amount of the discount, Kim found the amount she would have to pay after the 30% was subtracted from the 100%. This left 70% that had to be paid. 28.50 * .70 = 19.95; Then Kim knew that she had to pay this entire amount which was 100% plus another 10% for tax which is 110% so 19.95 * 1.10 = $ 21.95
Both Oscar and Kim got the same amount and they both had enough money to buy the book
