it just means that if you order 100,000 pieces, then the extended price is what is the total cost for all of those, but you have shipping on top of that.
The unit price is given so you can see what price break per unit you will receive when ordering in the quantity to the left of it.

oh ok i thought extended would mean shipping (lol) thanks you so much

Depending on the quantity you want to purchase the price will change. In your case I assume you want to buy small quantities (less than 1000 LEDs)
so the price is $0.21 per LED. If you buy 1000 to 49999 LEDs, the price per LED will drop to $0.162, etc
Make sure you make a decent size order otherwise the cost of shipping + tax will make the cost of the LED more expensive than to buy it at Radio Shack.

its something you probably dont need to worry about

equally if your buying passives in bulk it will likely be cheaper to use element 14 (farnell) as for a few of my projects its been 10+cents on digikey and 1-3c on element 14
though active devices and capacitor brands are better on digikey, which lead to my last project being only 13c cheaper on digikey for a 60 part long BOM,

:palm:
Quantity x Price = Extended price
one look at the those columns should make that pretty obvious
