Answer:

$102.72

Explanation:

If the mp3 player typically costs $120 and was on sale for 20% off, then the sale price would be 120 * (1 - 0.2) = $96.

If Siddhu had to pay 7% sales tax on the sale price, then the total tax he paid would be 96 * 0.07 = $6.72.

Therefore, Siddhu paid a total of 96 + 6.72 = $102.72 for the mp3 player when it was on sale with the sales tax included.
