Answer:

  d.  The Changs family paid the correct amount for their purchases

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of the prices of the goods is ...

  $89.95 +239.99 = $329.94

Sales tax adds 6.6%, so multiplies the price by 1.066. The resulting total with tax is ...

  $329.94 × 1.066 = $351.72

This is the amount paid, so the family paid the correct amount.
