The Noodles & Company location in Parker, Colorado, sells its Pad Thai for $4.25 for a small, $5.25 for a regular with an additional $2.00 for protein for either size. If Noodles and Company is making a 300% markup based on the cost on their food, what is the cost for a small size Pad Thai with protein? Round to the nearest cent.
