Answer:

A) $3.55

Explanation:

What we know:

If c ( acustomer) orders 4 pizzas, each pizzas cost $4.44

There, we can multiply $4.44 by 4 to get $17.76.

Mr. Pelee wants to give the driver a 20% tip.

So, divide 17.76 by 5 (or multiply by 1/5) to get 3.552.

But, it's asking us to round to the nearest cent.

2 is less than 5, so 3.552 rounds down to $3.55
