↓

She first bought electronics worth of $87.95.

Returned a video game and received a refund of $27.79.

=60.16 (87.95-27.79) | You have to subtract.

Had to pay a fee of $6.17 after returning the video game.

final amount - $66.33 (60.16+6.17) | You have to add the amount she now had after she got the refund and the restocking fee she had to pay.

Answer 2

Answer: She paid $66.33

Explanation:

The overall amount that you paid for the video game was 87.95. She got 27.79 back as a refund. So you subtract what she paid from her refund. 87.95-27.79 = 60.16. She also had to pay a fine for the video game. So you add the fine to the amount. 60.16+6.17 = 66.33.

Overall, she paid 66.33.
