Answer 1

$46.76 is your answer!

Answer 2

Let's start solving this problem by getting first the price of getting 5 items. We have

`\$12.99*5=\$64.95`

We then get the amount to be discounted by multiplying the total cost of 5 items with the discount percentage. We have

`\$64.95*0.28=\$18.19`

We then subtract this amount to the total cost of buying the 5 items to get the final answer. We have

`\$64.95-\$18.19=\$46.76`

Answer: $46.76
