Question 14 • Common Core Math 7 A-IC

A frozen dinner at a grocery store is purchased for $2.20 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
$8.80
B
$10.07
C
$13.43
D
$14.39

Explanation

A 40% markup makes each dinner cost $2.20 × 1.40 = $3.08. Four dinners cost $3.08 × 4 = $12.32 before tax. Including 9% sales tax gives $12.32 × 1.09 = $13.4288, which rounds to $13.43, choice C.
