8. Mark decides to order pizza to enjoy a football game with his friends. A New York pizza he enjoys ordering from is having a promotion

where any large pizza costs $13.99. There is a 7.85% sales tax and a $8.00 delivery charge for the order. If Mark and his friends
orders 4 large pizzas, what amount should he expect the pizza shop to tell him as his total charge (not including tip)?
a. $58.54
b. $60.35
C. $68.35
d. $54.46

Answer 1

The cost of 4 large pizzas is:

4 x $13.99 = $55.96

The sales tax on the order is:

$55.96 x 7.85% = $4.39

The delivery charge is:

$8.00

So the total cost of the order is:

$55.96 + $4.39 + $8.00 = $68.35

Therefore, the answer is C) $68.35.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. $68.35.

Here's the breakdown of the total cost:

* 4 large pizzas at $13.99 each = $55.96

* 7.85% sales tax on $55.96 = $4.38

* $8.00 delivery charge

Total: $55.96 + $4.38 + $8.00 = $68.35
