Troy has a price char below for ingredients he needs to order for his sandwich bar.

Question

Item. Cost per pound
Onions 0.79

Tomatoes. 0.93

Cheese. 1.85

Ham. 3.15

Turkey. 3.40

Troy has to order 6 pounds of ham, 12 pounds of cheese. And 14 pounds of turkey. What is the total cost or Troy’s order?

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of Troy's order, we can multiply the cost per pound of each ingredient by the number of pounds he needs to order, and then sum these amounts.

1. Ham:
   Cost per pound = $3.15
   Pounds ordered = 6
   Total cost for ham = \( 3.15 \times 6 = 18.90 \)

2. Cheese:
   Cost per pound = $1.85
   Pounds ordered = 12
   Total cost for cheese = \( 1.85 \times 12 = 22.20 \)

3. Turkey:
   Cost per pound = $3.40
   Pounds ordered = 14
   Total cost for turkey = \( 3.40 \times 14 = 47.60 \)

Now, adding up all the costs:

• Total cost for ham: $18.90
• Total cost for cheese: $22.20
• Total cost for turkey: $47.60

Total cost = \( 18.90 + 22.20 + 47.60 = 88.70 \)

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