You are watching commercials before Black Friday shopping and see that Best Buy is selling Play Station 5 for 30% OFF. You have been doing your research and know that a PS5 usually sells for $500. You have saved up $400 from raking leaves and babysitting over the past few years. If you wait in line on Black Friday and use your 30% OFF coupon, do you have enough money to buy the PS5?
