#7 The Similar Prices

A guy goes into a 7-11 and buys 4 items and the total comes out to $7.11. The guy is curious that the total matches the stores name and asks the clerk how he got the price. The clerk said he just multiplied the prices of the four items. The customer complained that the prices should have been added not multiplied. So the clerk adds the prices together and the total is still the same $7.11. What where the four prices?

well it's been six days with no completely right answer, so here is the first hint

Hint #1 One of the prices is $3.16

7.11 points go to vetteman for throwing a guess out, but I'm sorry that is indeed incorrect

well seeing as normal stores would round the cents up instead of staying at the decimal, thats wrong, but good try, but that guess was just out of the 50 point range

actually rndmoboe728, I have descided to award you 50 points for that guess since you've been the only person with a reasonably intelligent guess
