Ken bought a shirt at a price of D dollars, to which a sales tax of p percent was added. He paid with a 20-dollar bill and received less than C dollars in change. Was the price of the shirt, without taxes, more than 15 dollars?
1. p=6
2. c=5
Ken's total amt can be represented by = \((\frac{100+P}{100})*d\)
We need to know whether \(d > 15 \)
1. p=6
Thus we know total amt \(= 1.06*d \)
However we still cannot find d
INSUFF.
2. c=5
Now we know
\((\frac{100+P}{100})*d > 15\)
However we still cannot find d
INSUFF.
1+2
\(1.06*d> 15\)
\(d > 14.15\)
Hence we still cannot answer the stem.
INSUFF.

Hope it helps.
