Answer 1

Answer: the total of Leiff’s online purchase is $119.32

Step-by-step explanation:

He finds a site that currently has a promotion of 15% off on all orders over $50. 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. This means that the amount of discount that he gets on the video game will be

15/100× 128 = 0.15×128 = $19.2

The discounted price would be 128 - 19.2 = $108.8

Leiff pays 5.3% sales tax on the discounted price. This means that the amount of tax paid on the discounted price would be

5.3/100 × 108.8 = 5.7664

He pays a shipping fee of $4.75. The total of Leiff’s online purchase would be

108.8 + 5.7664 + 4.75 = $119.32

Answer 2

Answer:

$119.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Leiff decides to buy his video game, with a price tag of $128, at this site

he will get the 15% discount when he checks out.

100-15= 85%

Discounted price=85% of 128 is $0.85 \cdot 128=108.8$

Leiff pays 5.3% sales tax on the discounted price

5.3% is 0.053

sales tax amount=0.053 times 108.8=5.7664

So we add the sales tax amount and shipping fee

$108.8+5.7664+4.75=119.32$

So $119.32 is the total amount
