The correct answer is B) $78.80. If it asks you to show your work, then: $25.9 + $32.59 + $19.98 - $5 + 7.25% and after that you will have your answer of $78.80. Hope I helped

Answer:

The Angelo pay $ 79.16 for his online purchase .

Option (c) is correct .

Explanation:

As given

Angelo purchased some gifts for his younger brothers and sisters online.

He bought a dollhouse for $32.59, 2 board games for $12.95 each and 2 movies for $9.99 each.

Total amount of puchase = Cost of doll house + Cost of board games + Cost of movies .

= 32.59 + 2 × 12.95 + 2 × 9.99

= 32.59 + 25.9 + 19.98

= $78.47

The web site had a promotional offer of $5 off and no shipping fees for any purchase totaling at least $50.

Thus

Total amount of puchase after apply off coupon = Total amount of purchase - off price .

= $78.47 - $5

= $73.47

As given

Angelo was charged 7.25% tax on his total purchase.

7.25% is written in the decimal form.


= (7.25)/(100)

= 0.0725

Tax price = 0.0725 × Total amount of purchase

= 0.0725 × 78.47

= $5.6891

Total Angelo pay for his online purchase = Tax price + Total amount of puchase after apply off coupon.

= $5.6891 + $73.47

= $ 79.16 (Approx)

Therefore the Angelo pay $ 79.16 for his online purchase .

Option (c) is correct .
