1. SUMMER MATH CURSE OF 2017
BY ISHAAN GULATI

2. MATH CURSE PROBLEM #1
At the beginning of the summer I was given $150 for earning good grades.
In the summer I wanted to buy a razor go-kart.
When I looked for the go-kart on Amazon, it was $269 plus tax. My mother said she would match dollar for dollar for what I had. Also, my mom told me that in Maryland, we pay 6% tax on things we buy.
So what will my total be for my go-kart including tax?
Do I have enough money for the go-kart? If I don’t have enough, how much more money do I need? If I do, how much do I have left?
