Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of Troy's order, we can find the cost of each type of meat and cheese individually and then sum them up.

1. Calculate the cost of ham: \[ \text{Cost of ham} = 8 \text{ pounds} \times 3.15 \text{ per pound} = 25.20 \]

2. Calculate the cost of cheese: \[ \text{Cost of cheese} = 15 \text{ pounds} \times 1.85 \text{ per pound} = 27.75 \]

3. Calculate the cost of turkey: \[ \text{Cost of turkey} = 12 \text{ pounds} \times 3.40 \text{ per pound} = 40.80 \]

4. Now, sum the total costs: \[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Cost of ham} + \text{Cost of cheese} + \text{Cost of turkey} \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 25.20 + 27.75 + 40.80 = 93.75 \]

Therefore, the total cost of Troy’s order is 93.75.

The correct answer is d. 93.75.
