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**.
