Question

The government taxes a manufacturer $0.20 for a bottle of soda. The manufacturer raises the wholesale price an additional $0.60 per bottle. The retailer raises the retail price an additional $0.15 per bottle. How much more, in dollars, does a consumer pay per bottle of soda?

Answer 1

Answer: $0.95

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to add all amounts raised by the government, the manufacturer, and the retailer.

Mathematically speaking:

$0.20+$0.60+$0.15 = $0.95

So, a consumer pays $0.95 more per bottle of soda.
