Answer 2

Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Sale off = 15%

Rate of sales tax = 5%

Let y be the original price of the DVD.

Amount of sales tax would be

`(5)/(100)* y\\\\=0.05y`

Amount after tax would be

y + 0.05 y = 1.05y

Now, there is off of 15%, so final cost of the DVD would be

`(100-15)/(100)* 1.05y\\\\=(85)/(100)* 1.05y\\\\=0.85(1.05y)`

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.
