Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The store sells Ham for 3.5 dollars per pound, turkey for $4.50 per pound and cheese for &7.50 dollars for pound.

If you buy 1.5 pounds of ham, the the amount of money spent on ham is the amount of ham bought × price of ham per pound. It becomes

1.5 × 3.5 = $5.25

If you buy 3.4 pounds of turkey, the the amount of money spent on turkey is the amount of turkey bought × price of turkey per pound. It becomes

4.5 × 3.4 = $15.3

If you buy 6.2 pounds of cheese, the the amount of money spent on cheese is the amount of cheese bought × price of cheese per pound. It becomes

7.5 × 6.2 = $46.5

Total amount spent

= 5.25 + 15.3 + 46.5 = $67.05
