Answer 1

Let's start solving this problem by getting first the price of getting 5 items. We have

$\ 12.99\times5=\ 64.95$

We then get the amount to be discounted by multiplying the total cost of 5 items with the discount percentage. We have

$\ 64.95\times0.28=\ 18.19$

We then subtract this amount to the total cost of buying the 5 items to get the final answer. We have

$\ 64.95-\ 18.19=\ 46.76$

Answer: $46.76
