Coach Yip decides to order pizza delivery for the team after a game. The pizza shop is having a promotion where any large pizza costs $12. 99. There is a 7. 5% sales tax and a $2. 50 delivery charge for the order. If Coach Yip orders 4 large pizzas, what amount should she expect the pizza shop to tell her as her total charge? a. $58. 54 b. $58. 36 c. $55. 86 d. $54. 46 Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D.

Answer 1

B) $58.36

Explanation:

To find the total charge, let's start by creating an expression to help us visualize the information in the problem:

4(12.99) + 0.075(4(12.99)) + 2.50 = T

where T is equal to the total.

Now, let's simplify this equation by evaluating the multiplication:

4(12.99) = 51.96

51.96 + 0.075(51.96) + 2.50 = T

T = 51.96 + 3.897 + 2.50 = 58.36 when rounded to the nearest cent.

Hope this helped!
