Answer:

The answer is $10.05 .

Explanation:

Add the amount of $9.99 3 times. (since it is three games ).

$9.99 + $9.99+ $9.99 = $29.97 .

Then,

Add the 2 amounts of $14.99 (since there are 2 video games)

$14.99 + $14.99 = $29.98.

Since we are buying something, we need to add the totals to be able to know how much it all cost.

$29.97 + $29.98= $59.59 .

We the subtract the amout that is owed ($59.95)by the amount that was given ($70.00) to get $10.05 in change.
