Option d is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The price tag on the video game was $128. The site currently has a promotion of 15% off on all orders over $50. This means that the video game qualifies for the promotion. The cost of the video game would be

128 - (15/100 × 128) = 128 - 19.2 = $108.8

Leiff pays a 5.3% sales tax on the discounted price. This means that he paid 5.3% sales tax on 108.8. The amount with the sales tax becomes

108.8 + (5.3/100 × 108.8)

108.8 + 5.7664 = 114.5664

He pays a shipping fee of $4.75. It means that the total of Leiff’s online purchase is 114.5664 + 4.75 = 119.3164

Approximately 119.3
