It is a new year and you are excited to fill your wardrobe with some of the new Riffel Royal spirit wear. Your

Wear Store.

You must consider the following things:

 There are six items in the spirit wear store and you want them all!

 The SRC is giving you a $250 gift card to spend at the Spirit Wear Store. If you go over the $250, you
must see how much additional money you owe. If you do not use all the gift card, you must calculate
how much balance you have remaining on the card.

 One item has to be on sale. You will need to calculate the sale price of this item. The hoodie will be
20% off.
