Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of Troy's order, we need to multiply the cost per pound of each ingredient by the number of pounds being ordered.

1. Ham:
   Cost per pound: $53.15
   Pounds ordered: 8
   Total cost for ham = 8 pounds × $53.15/pound = $425.20

2. Cheese:
   Cost per pound: $1.85
   Pounds ordered: 15
   Total cost for cheese = 15 pounds × $1.85/pound = $27.75

3. Turkey:
   Cost per pound: $53.40
   Pounds ordered: 12
   Total cost for turkey = 12 pounds × $53.40/pound = $640.80

Now add all the totals together:

Total cost = Total cost for ham + Total cost for cheese + Total cost for turkey
Total cost = $425.20 + $27.75 + $640.80 = $1093.75

Now, checking the options you provided, none seem to be correct based on this calculation. The correct total cost for Troy's order is $1093.75.
