Answer:

$4.76

Explanation:

Take the cost of the sandwich (2.80) and multiply it by the percentage, 170% (which can be written as 1.70).

2.80 × 1.70 = 4.76

The selling price of the sandwich is $4.76.

Tip: When finding the percentage of a number, take the given percentage (in this case, 170%), divide it by 100 (resulting in 1.70), and multiply the number by the new percentage.
