Explanation:

Step1: Calculate discount for Motorized train

Discount = 40% of $9.99 = $9.99 × 0.4 = $3.996

Step2: Find discounted price for Motorized train

Discounted price = $9.99 - $3.996 = $5.994 ≈ $5.99 (rounded to nearest hundredth)

Step3: Calculate discount for Doll house

Discount = 40% of $12.99 = $12.99 × 0.4 = $5.196

Step4: Find discounted price for Doll house

Discounted price = $12.99 - $5.196 = $7.794 ≈ $7.79 (rounded to nearest hundredth)

Step5: Calculate discount for Building blocks

Discount = 40% of $5.69 = $5.69 × 0.4 = $2.276

Step6: Find discounted price for Building blocks

Discounted price = $5.69 - $2.276 = $3.414 ≈ $3.41 (rounded to nearest hundredth)

Answer:

Motorized train discounted price: $5.99
