Answer 2

Option B

ANSWER:

The final cost after rounding to nearest penny is $ 28.77, so second option is correct.

SOLUTION:

Given, a customer's check subtotal comes to $27.14,

And a tax of 6% needs to be added,

We have to find what would be the final total?

Now, final cost = subtotal + tax

Final cost = subtotal + 6% of subtotal

$\begin{array}{l}{=27.14+6 \% \times 27.14} \\\\ {=27.14+\frac{6}{100} \times 27.14} \\\\ {=27.14+\frac{162.84}{100}} \\\\ {=27.14+1.6284} \\\\ {=28.7684}\end{array}$

Hence, the final cost after rounding to nearest penny is $ 28.77, so second option is correct.
