Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of video camera = $620

Rate of sales tax = 6%

Amount of sales tax is given by


(6)/(100)* 620\\\\=\$37.2

Total amount after sales tax is given by


\$620+\$37.2\\\\=\$657.20

Amount of rebate = $95

So, final amount that Darrin ended up paying after receiving the rebate is given by


\$657.20-\$95\\\\=\$562.20

Hence, option 'A' is correct.
