Answer 2

Answer:

Sandwich sells for  $4.76  .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

It costs $2.80 to make a sandwich at the local deli shop.

To make a profit, the deli sells it at a price that is 170% of the cost.

170% is written in the decimal form

$= \frac{170}{100}$

= 1.7

Thus

Sandwich selling cost = 1.7 × Cost of making

Put all the values in the above

Sandwich selling cost = 1.7 × $ 2.80

                                    = $4.76

Therefore the Sandwich sells for  $4.76  .
