Leiff pays 5 point 3 percent sales tax on the discounted price and pays a shipping fee of 4 point 7 5 dollars What is the total of Leiff’s online purchase?

Answer
A
112 point 8 4 dollars
B
118 point 8 2 dollars
C
119 point 3 2 dollars
D
114 point 5 7 dollars

Explanation

The $128 game qualifies for the discount, so its discounted price is $128 × 0.85 = $108.80. The sales tax is $108.80 × 0.053 = $5.7664, and adding the $4.75 shipping fee gives $108.80 + $5.7664 + $4.75 = $119.3164. Rounded to the nearest cent, the total is $119.32, choice A.
