Working memory is responsible for temporarily holding and manipulating information for a specific task. In this case, Nolen is adding up the prices of the DVDs he's holding, which requires him to temporarily hold this information in his working memory. Iconic memory is responsible for visual sensory information, procedural memory is responsible for skills and habits that have been learned, and echoic memory is responsible for auditory sensory information.
