Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of Troy's order, we need to find the cost for each ingredient and then sum them up.

1. Cost of Ham:

   • Price per pound: $3.15
   • Weight: 6 pounds
   • Total cost for ham: \( 6 , \text{pounds} \times 3.15 , \text{dollars/pound} = 18.90 , \text{dollars} \)

2. Cost of Cheese:

   • Price per pound: $1.85
   • Weight: 12 pounds
   • Total cost for cheese: \( 12 , \text{pounds} \times 1.85 , \text{dollars/pound} = 22.20 , \text{dollars} \)

3. Cost of Turkey:

   • Price per pound: $3.40
   • Weight: 14 pounds
   • Total cost for turkey: \( 14 , \text{pounds} \times 3.40 , \text{dollars/pound} = 47.60 , \text{dollars} \)

Now, we add the costs of all ingredients together:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 18.90 , \text{dollars} + 22.20 , \text{dollars} + 47.60 , \text{dollars} \]

Calculating the total:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 18.90 + 22.20 + 47.60 = 88.70 , \text{dollars} \]

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

The correct response is:

$88.70
