She buys a pair of shoes for $110.00 and a sweatshirt for $55.00, with 7% sales tax on both items. Does Bianca still have the amount of money she planned to put into her savings account?

First find how much she wants to save: 25% of $240 = $60.
Total purchase before tax = $110 + $55 = $165.
Sales tax = 7% of $165 = 0.07×165 = $11.55.
Total cost = $165 + $11.55 = $176.55.
Money left = $240 − $176.55 = $63.45.
Yes. She planned to save $60 and has $63.45 left, so she can still save $60 and will have $3.45 extra.
