Question

Tanveer bought 0.7 pounds of sliced ham at his local deli. If the deli charged $6.79 per pound, how much did Tanveer pay?
$2.04
$4.75
$7.49
$9.70

Answer 1

To find out how much Tanveer paid for 0.7 pounds of sliced ham at $6.79 per pound, you can multiply the weight of the ham by the cost per pound:

\[
\text{Total cost} = \text{Weight} \times \text{Cost per pound}
\]

\[
\text{Total cost} = 0.7 \, \text{pounds} \times 6.79 \, \text{dollars/pound}
\]

Now, calculating:

\[
\text{Total cost} = 0.7 \times 6.79 = 4.753
\]

Rounding this value to two decimal places, Tanveer paid approximately $4.75.

So, the answer is \( \text{ } \boxed{4.75} \).
