Answer:
Ethan paid $31.99 for the video game on sale.

Explanation:


Discount = 20% of $39.99

Discount = 0.20 * $39.99

Discount = $7.998 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Subtracting the discount from the original price:

Amount paid = $39.99 - $7.998

Amount paid = $31.992 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Therefore, Ethan paid $31.99 for the video game on sale.
