$\underline{\text { Folklore }}$

To repair the propeller, Karlson needs to buy three blades and one screw. In the store, blades cost 120 tugriks each and screws cost 9 tugriks each. However, after a purchase of at least 250 tugriks, a $20 \%$ discount is given on all subsequent purchases. Will Karlson be able to repair the propeller if he has only 360 tugriks with him?
Let the first purchase be two blades and two screws, costing $2(120+9)=258$ tugriks. Since the cost of the purchase is more than 250 tugriks, Carlson can buy the third blade with a $20\%$ discount, spending $120 \cdot 0.8=96$ tugriks. Therefore, in total, Carlson will spend $258+96=354$ tugriks.

## Answer

He can.
