To calculate the discount, we can multiply the original price by the discount percentage:
Discount = 32.99 * 0.20 = $6.598
The discounted price is the original price minus the discount:
Discounted price = 32.99 - 6.598 = $26.392
To calculate the sales tax, we can multiply the discounted price by the sales tax rate:
Sales tax = 26.392 * 0.08 = $2.11136
Therefore, Andre paid $2.11136 in sales tax.
To calculate the total amount Andre paid, we need to add the discounted price and the sales tax:
Total amount paid = discounted price + sales tax = 26.392 + 2.11136 = $28.50336
Therefore, Andre paid a total of $28.50336 for the video game.
