No, #$80# is #6¢# short.

For this we need to work out what #6.75% " of " 75# is:

#6.75% = 6 3/4% = 27/4% = 27/400#

#27/400 xx 75 = 2025/400 = 405/80 = 81/16#

#81/16 = $5.06#

If you add this to the #$75#, you get an answer of #$80.06# .

#$80# is #6¢# short.

No. Toru needs extra $1.75

Total cost is #=75+6.75=$81.75#

It means Toru does not have enough Money. Extra #$1.75# needed.
