@eSpeX thanx anyways, bro

espex · Answer

Oh, they are including the purchase price. :D

anonymous · Answer

$$30\times .75\times 1.1$$ should do it

espex · Answer

Well, the cost to be delivered is the cost of the radio, 22.50, plus the delivery fee, 2.25.

espex · Answer

Initially I read it to ask what the delivery fee was. :)

anonymous · Answer

the question is phrased incorrectly because 
how much would it cost to be delivered?
means, well, it means how much would it cost to be delivered, not how much is the total price
