Final answer:

The selling price of a car with a 28% markup on its original price of $15,558 is calculated to be $19,914.24. None of the provided answer choices match this calculated selling price.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to calculate the selling price of a car that has a 28% markup on its original price of $15,558. To solve this, we will first determine the amount of markup by multiplying the original price by the markup percentage and then add this amount to the original price to find the selling price.

First, calculate the markup amount: $15,558 × 0.28 = $4,356.24.

Next, add the markup to the original price to get the selling price: $15,558 + $4,356.24 = $19,914.24.

Looking at the options provided, none of them matches our calculated selling price exactly, which suggests a possible error in the question or the answer choices. Therefore, none of the given answer choices (a, b, c, d) is correct based on our calculation.
