Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of Troy's order, we need to find the cost for each ingredient based on their prices and the quantities needed:

1. Cost of Ham:
   Price per pound of ham = $3.15
   Quantity = 3 pounds
   Total cost of ham = 3 pounds * $3.15/pound = $9.45

2. Cost of Cheese:
   Price per pound of cheese = $1.85
   Quantity = 10 pounds
   Total cost of cheese = 10 pounds * $1.85/pound = $18.50

3. Cost of Turkey:
   Price per pound of turkey = $3.40
   Quantity = 5 pounds
   Total cost of turkey = 5 pounds * $3.40/pound = $17.00

Now, we sum up the total costs for all three ingredients:

Total cost = Total cost of ham + Total cost of cheese + Total cost of turkey
Total cost = $9.45 + $18.50 + $17.00
Total cost = $44.95

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