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
