    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
