There was a trucking strike that caused a prime ingredient in your menu item to shoot up 17%. You were paying $12 per package. How much will you have to increase the price of the menu item if you wish to maintain your current dollar profit margin on the menu item? a) $2.04 b) $6.37 c) $7.15 d) $9.44

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.

10.4 is the answer for you
