Leiff decides to buy his video game, with a price tag of $128, at this site because he knows that he will get the 15% discount when he checks out.

$112.84
b.
$114.57
c.
$118.82
d.
$119.32

Answer 1

Answer: Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Price tag on his video game = $128

Discount rate = 15%

Sales tax = 5.3%

Amount of shipping fee = $4.75

So, Amount of discount is given by

$0.15\times 128\\\\=\ 19.2$

Amount after discount is given by

$128-19.2\\\\=\ 108.8$

Amount of sales tax would be

$0.053\times 108.8\\\\=\ 5.7664$

So, Amount after sales tax becomes

$\ 108.8+\45.7664\\\\=\ 114.57$

Amount after adding shipping charges becomes

$\ 114.57+\ 4.75\\\\=\ 119.32$

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.
