Final answer:

The 12-inch sandwich at Mr. Ortega's sandwich shop would logically cost $6.60, which is double the price of the 6-inch sandwich at $3.30, assuming linear pricing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Understanding the Pricing of Sandwiches

When we look at the price of Mr. Ortega's sandwich shop offerings, we notice that a 6-inch sandwich costs $3.30. If we consider that a 12-inch sandwich would logically be double the size of a 6-inch sandwich, it would make sense that if no discounts or premiums are applied for buying a larger size, the 12-inch sandwich would cost double the price of a 6-inch sandwich.

Therefore, the correct pricing for the 12-inch sandwich, based on the given price of the 6-inch sandwich, would be $6.60. This is using the simple assumption that the sandwich's price scales linearly with its size and ignoring any potential bulk discounts or size premiums that might be applied in a real-life scenario.

The other options provided, such as $9.90, $12.20, and $13.20, suggest either a disproportionate scaling of price with size or additional costs added beyond merely doubling the price of the shorter sandwich, which are not justified by the information provided in the question.
