Question

Jeremy went to the butcher. He bought 3 pounds of beef at $5.10 per pound and 5 pounds of chicken at $2.28 per pound. How much did Jeremy spend at the butcher in total?

Answer 1

Answer:

$26.70

Step-by-step explanation:

beef : 3lbs * $5.10 /lb = $15.30

chicken : 5 lbs * $2.28/ lb = $11.40

meat cost = beef + chicken

                = $15.30 +$11.40

               = $26.70

Answer 2

Hi there

I’m pretty sure the answer is $26.70 sorry if I’m wrong

All you do is $5.10 times 3 which gives you ($15.30) and $2.28 times 5 which gives you ($11.40) then add up $15.30 and $11.40 and it gives you $26.70.

Sorry if my explanation is bad.
