Answer:

$61.99

Explanation:

Based on everything that Taino bought his total amount would be $61.99 . Mental math would mean that no work is shown but for the sake of explanation, I can try to show how to derive the value from the answer choices given quickly. First, we see that the cents in each purchase do not equal a round dollar value when added so the answer must be either A or C. Secondly we add the dollar values and see that it surpasses the round value of 60 making the answer C.
