Final answer:
Linda's total payment for the sofa set is determined by adding the sales tax and shipping fee to the marked price. after calculations her total payment comes to $2,829; however, this is not listed among the provided multiple-choice options, suggesting a possible discrepancy in the question or provided options.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how much Linda paid in total for the sofa set, we need to calculate both the sales tax and the shipping fee and add them to the marked price of the sofa set. the sales tax is calculated by converting the percentage to a decimal and multiplying it by the sofa set's price. For a 14% sales tax: $2,300 * 14% = $2,300 * 0.14 = $322.
The shipping fee is also calculated by converting the percent to a decimal and multiplying by the sofa set's price. For a 9% shipping fee: $2,300 * 9% = $2,300 * 0.09 = $207.
To find the total cost, you add the sales tax and the shipping fee to the original price: $2,300 + $322 + $207 = $2,829. However, this is not one of the provided options, which means we must have made a calculation error. After re-evaluating our calculations, we find that the correct total cost for the sofa set, including the sales tax and shipping fee, is $2,300 + $322 + $207 = $2,829, which is still not one of the options provided. There seems to be a discrepancy in the options, as none of them match our calculations. It's possible there was a mistake in providing the options, or there could be an error in the calculation. The correct approach to solving the problem is shown, but the final answer isn't reflected in the options given.
