Answer:

a) $4.86

b) $57.39

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To find how much sales tax Allison paid, find the sale price. The price of the game was 12% off. This means Allison paid 88% of the new price. COnevrt 88% to 0.88. The multiply it with the price.

0.88*59.69 = 52.53

The sale price was $52.53. She will pay 9.25% or 0.0925 of the sale price.

0.0925 (52.53) = 4.86

b) She pays in total $52.53 + 4.86 = 57.39
