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.

Ans E

Hope it helps.
