$112.84

b.

$114.57

c.

d.

$119.32

Verified Answer :

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.
