Question

Coach Yip decides to order pizza delivery for the team after a game. The pizza shop is having a promotion where any large pizza costs $12.99. There is a 7.5% sales tax and a $2.50 delivery charge for the order. If Coach Yip orders 4 large pizzas, what amount should she expect the pizza shop to tell her as her total charge?

$58.54
$58.36
$55.86
$54.46

Answer 1

4 × $12.99 = $51.96.
Sales tax on pizzas: 0.075 × $51.96 = $3.897 → pizzas with tax = $51.96 + $3.897 = $55.857 ≈ $55.86.
Add $2.50 delivery → $55.86 + $2.50 = $58.36.

Answer: $58.36
