Let's break down the problem:

1. Cecilia has a $45 gift card.
2. The item she wants to buy costs $51.40.
3. She has a 15% discount due to her VIP membership.

### Step 1: Apply the 15% discount
The discount is 15% of $51.40. To calculate the discount:
\[
\text{Discount amount} = 51.40 \times \frac{15}{100} = 51.40 \times 0.15 = 7.71
\]

### Step 2: Subtract the discount from the original price
\[
\text{Discounted price} = 51.40 - 7.71 = 43.69
\]

### Step 3: Calculate how much will be left on the gift card
Cecilia has $45 on her gift card, and the discounted price is $43.69. So, the remaining balance on her gift card is:
\[
\text{Remaining balance} = 45 - 43.69 = 1.31
\]

Thus, after her purchase, Cecilia will have **$1.31** left on her gift card.

### Additional questions:
1. What if the discount was 10% instead of 15%? How much would she have left?
2. How much would she need to add if the game pack had no discount at all?
3. If the game pack originally cost $60, what would the price be with the 15% discount?
4. What percentage discount would make the game pack cost exactly $45?
5. If Cecilia used a different gift card with $60, how much would she have left after the discounted purchase?

**Tip:** Always verify your discount by multiplying it with the original amount and then subtracting it from the total.

Cecilia has a $45 gift card to her local game store. She has a VIP membership, which gives her a 15% discount off any item. Cecilia is wanting to buy a new game pack that costs $51.40. How much will be left on her gift card after her purchase?
