Answer: $50.96

Explanation:

The regular price of a video game is $59.95 and we are told that this week it is on sale for 15% off.

The game cost this week before taxes will be:

= 59.95 - (15% × 59.95)

= 59.95 - (0.15 × 59.95)

= 59.95 - 8.9925

= $50.9575

= $50.96

The amount this week is $50.96
