Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The math portion of it would be as follows:

650 times 2, since it's been cut by more than half, which equals 1300.

650 times .07 = 45.5

695.5 times 2 = 1391.

Also, 1300 x .07 = 91.

Add them together, 1300 + 91 = 1391.

SO I think the correct answer is actually 1391, not 1511.63.

The amount the grocer spend on marketing last year = $ 1511.6279
