Answer:

$61.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of the Video game = $69.99

Discount = 18%

Discount price = 18% of $69.99

                         = $69.99*18/100

                         = $12.6

Price after Discount = Price - Discount price

                                  = $69.99 - $12.6

                                  = $57.39

Sales tax = 6.5% applied to the discounted price

                = 6.5% of $57.39

sales tax in dollars = $57.39 * 6.5/100

                               = $3.73

The amount he pays for the game = $57.39 + $3.73

                                                          = $61.12
