Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose we have purchased items which cost for about 100 $

In case of offline physical store

1) we have a coupon of 10%

so (10/100) * 100 = 10 $ will be the off on 100$

2) Sales tax is 5%

tax on the total amount

(5/100) * 100 = 5 $

so the amount which we will pay will be 100+5-10 = 95$ in case of offline physical store

In case we buy on online store

1) we have a discount coupon of 5%

(5/100) * 100 = 5$

2) Need to pay for shipping for 6.99$

100 - 5 + 6.99=101.99 $

so you need to pay 101.99$ in case of online store.
