Troy orders 6 pounds of ham 12 pounds of cheese and 14 pounds of turkey what’s the total cost of Troy’s order? Ham is 3.15 a pound cheese is 1.85 a pound and turkey is 3.40 a pound

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of Troy's order, we can multiply the weight of each item by its price per pound and then sum the totals.

1. Cost of ham: \[ 6 \text{ pounds} \times 3.15 \text{ dollars/pound} = 18.90 \text{ dollars} \]

2. Cost of cheese: \[ 12 \text{ pounds} \times 1.85 \text{ dollars/pound} = 22.20 \text{ dollars} \]

3. Cost of turkey: \[ 14 \text{ pounds} \times 3.40 \text{ dollars/pound} = 47.60 \text{ dollars} \]

Now, we add the costs together: \[ 18.90 + 22.20 + 47.60 = 88.70 \text{ dollars} \]

Thus, the total cost of Troy's order is $88.70.
