Question 30 • Grade 7 Mathematics

A frozen dinner at a grocery store is purchased for 2 point 2 0 dollars wholesale and is marked up by 40 percent. A customer wants to buy four frozen dinners. How much will the customer pay, including paying 9 percent sales tax? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer
A
8 point 8 0 dollars
B
13 point 4 3 dollars
C
14 point 3 9 dollars
D
10 point 0 7 dollars

Explanation

A 40% markup on $2.20 is $0.88, so each dinner costs $2.20 + $0.88 = $3.08 before tax. Four dinners cost 4 × $3.08 = $12.32. Including 9% sales tax gives $12.32 × 1.09 = $13.4288, which rounds to $13.43, choice B.
