i hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Let y be the original price of the game.

Discount rate =12%

So, amount of discount would be

`0.12* y\\\\=0.12y`

Price after discount would be

`y-0.12y=0.88y`

Sales tax = 6%

Amount of tax would be

`(6)/(100)* 0.88y\\\\=0.06* 0.88y`

Price after tax would be

`0.88y+0.6* 0.88y\\\\=0.88(y+0.06y)\\\\=0.88(1.06y)`

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
