Answer 1

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

1. Ham:

   • Price per pound: $3.15
   • Total pounds: 3
   • Total cost for ham: \( 3 \times 3.15 = 9.45 \)

2. Cheese:

   • Price per pound: $1.85
   • Total pounds: 10
   • Total cost for cheese: \( 10 \times 1.85 = 18.50 \)

3. Turkey:

   • Price per pound: $3.40
   • Total pounds: 5
   • Total cost for turkey: \( 5 \times 3.40 = 17.00 \)

Now, we sum the total costs:

\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Cost of ham} + \text{Cost of cheese} + \text{Cost of turkey} \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 9.45 + 18.50 + 17.00 = 44.95 \]

Thus, the total cost of Troy’s order is $44.95.
