To calculate the total cost of Troy’s order, we can use the prices given and multiply them by the respective quantities.

  1. Ham:
    Price per pound = $3.15
    Quantity = 8 pounds
    Total cost for ham = 3.15 * 8 = $25.20

  2. Cheese:
    Price per pound = $1.58
    Quantity = 15 pounds
    Total cost for cheese = 1.58 * 15 = $23.70

  3. Turkey:
    Price per pound = $3.40
    Quantity = 12 pounds
    Total cost for turkey = 3.40 * 12 = $40.80

Now, let's sum up the totals:

  • Total cost for ham = $25.20
  • Total cost for cheese = $23.70
  • Total cost for turkey = $40.80

Now add these amounts: \[ 25.20 + 23.70 + 40.80 = 89.70 \]

The total cost of Troy's order is $89.70. However, this amount does not match any of the options listed. It seems the available answers may not include the correct one.

Let me double-check the math:

    • Ham total: \( 3.15 \times 8 = 25.20 \)
    • Cheese total: \( 1.58 \times 15 = 23.70 \)
    • Turkey total: \( 3.40 \times 12 = 40.80 \)

Summing again:

  • \( 25.20 + 23.70 + 40.80 = 89.70 \)

Please verify the prices or quantities since based on the provided data, the total should be $89.70, which isn't an option in your list.

Let me go through the calculations step-by-step again to ensure accuracy.

Given Prices:

  • Ham: $3.15 per pound
  • Cheese: $1.58 per pound
  • Turkey: $3.40 per pound

Quantities:

  • Ham: 8 pounds
  • Cheese: 15 pounds
  • Turkey: 12 pounds

Calculating Total Costs

  1. Ham: \[ \text{Total cost for ham} = 3.15 \times 8 = 25.20 \]

  2. Cheese: \[ \text{Total cost for cheese} = 1.58 \times 15 = 23.70 \]

  3. Turkey: \[ \text{Total cost for turkey} = 3.40 \times 12 = 40.80 \]

Summing Total Costs

Now, adding the costs: \[ \text{Total cost} = 25.20 + 23.70 + 40.80 \]

Breaking it down step-by-step:

  • \( 25.20 + 23.70 = 48.90 \)
  • \( 48.90 + 40.80 = 89.70 \)

So, upon reviewing the calculations, the total cost remains $89.70.

If there is any confusion regarding the options provided, it may be worth checking if there are other quantities or items that need to be considered, as $89.70 does not match any of the options listed in your original question.
