Question 12 • Personal Finance - EL3403

Barbara has $70.00 in her pocket and a $20 gift card. Which purchase will she be able to make without having to use her credit card?

Answer
A
a portable radio for $65.95 and speakers for $29.99
B
five books for $18.95 each
C
headphones for $25.99 and eight CDs for 8.99 each
D
six puzzles for $11.99 each and a board game for $15.89

Explanation

Barbara can spend $70.00 in cash plus the $20 gift card, for a total of $90.00. Six puzzles cost 6 × $11.99 = $71.94; adding the $15.89 board game gives $87.83. Since $87.83 is within her $90.00 total, she can make the purchase of six puzzles and a board game without using her credit card.
