A club plans to spend no more than 85% of the $1,200.00 in its activity budget to buy as many
radio-controlled helicopters as possible. The price of a helicopter is $110.99 plus sales tax of
6%. What is the greatest number of helicopters the club can buy?

Respuesta :

Sales tax on helicopter

[tex]\sf\longmapsto 0.6(110.99)=6.65[/tex]

Cost of one helicopter

[tex]\sf\longmapsto 110.99+6.65=117.64[/tex]

Now

85% of 1200.00:-

[tex]\sf\longmapsto 0.85(1200)= 1020[/tex]

Total helicopters:-

[tex]\sf\longmapsto 1020/117.64\approx 9[/tex]
