To find the cost of the item including sales tax, you would first need to calculate the amount of sales tax.

Sales tax = $14.74 * 0.04 = $0.5896

Now, add the sales tax to the original price of the item:

$14.74 + $0.5896 = $15.3296

Rounding to the nearest cent, the item costs $15.33 including sales tax.

To find out how much Jody paid per pound of shrimp, divide the total cost by the number of pounds purchased:

Cost per pound = Total cost / Number of pounds
Cost per pound = $41.76 / 6 pounds
Cost per pound = $6.96

Therefore, Jody paid $6.96 per pound of shrimp.

To determine if the plumber's statement is reasonable, let's calculate the total amount of rubber tubing he will use to make the 2 pipes:

Rubber tubing needed for 1 pipe = 3 1/12 feet = 37/12 feet

Total rubber tubing needed for 2 pipes = 2 * (37/12) = 74/12 = 6 2/12 feet = 6 1/6 feet

Therefore, the plumber will actually be using 6 1/6 feet of rubber tubing to make the 2 pipes, not the 8 9/10 feet he has.

If he has 8 9/10 feet of rubber tubing and uses 6 1/6 feet to make the pipes, he will have 2 4/15 feet (or 2.2666... feet) of rubber tubing left, not 3 feet as he stated.

So, the plumber's statement is not reasonable.

To simplify -7/-11, we can divide -7 by -11. Remember that when you divide a negative number by a negative number, the result is positive.

Therefore,

-7 / -11 = 7 / 11

So, the answer is C. 7/11.
