Respuesta :

Answer:  B. $15.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Selling price of album = $16.00

Discount = 10% off

Sales tax = 8%

Discount = 10% of ( Selling price of album)

= 10% of $16

= 0.1 ($16)

= $1.6

Sales tax = 8% of ( Selling price of album)

= 8% of $16

= 0.08 ($16)

= $ 1.28

Total price of the album including tax = Selling price of album +Sales tax  - Discount

= $ 16 + $1.28 - $1.6

= $ 15.68

Hence, B. is the correct option.
