Question

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.

Answer 1

Answer:

B  But see below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Large Pizza = 12.99

4 Large Pizza = 4*12.99 = 51.96

The question is not exactly clear. Do you add on the delivery charge now of do you do it at the end? If you do it now, you are saying it is taxable. Coach Yip is just an individual, not a business. The pizza parlor will treat it as an expense. I would say you do it at the end.

Total Including tax is

51.96* ( 1 + 7.5/100)

Total = 55.86

Now add on the delivery cost

Total Cost = 55.86 + 2.50

Total Cost = 58.36

Comment: If you get this answer wrong using B, then the answer A because the 2.50 is added on before the tax is calculated.

Cost before taxes = 54.46

Total Cost with taxes = 54.46 * 1.075 = 58.54.

Since this is one of your choices you are going to have to ask your teacher which way he/she wants it done
