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?
a.
$58.54
b.
$58.36
c.
$55.86
d.
$54.46

Answer 1

4 × $12.99 = $51.96
Sales tax: 7.5% of $51.96 = 0.075 × 51.96 = $3.897 → total with tax = $51.96 + $3.897 = $55.857 ≈ $55.86
Add delivery $2.50 → $55.86 + $2.50 = $58.36

Answer: b. $58.36
