Answer 1

Answer:

$32.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c }Type of Meat & Cost per pound \\Beef & \ 5.99 \\Chicken & \ 4.79\\Pork & \ 3.64\\\end{tabular}\end{center}$

Amount of pork bought by Jeff = 1.5 pounds

Amount of beef bought by Jeff = 2.5 pounds

Amount of chicken bought by Jeff = 2.5 pounds

Cost of number of pounds of each type of meat bought by Jeff can be calculated by multiplying the number of pounds by the cost of each type per pound.

Cost of pork for 1.5 pounds = 1.5 $\times$ 3.64 = $5.46

Cost of beef for 2.5 pounds = 2.5 $\times$ 5.99 = $14.975

Cost of chicken for 2.5 pounds = 2.5 $\times$ 4.79 = $11.975

Total cost = Cost of pork + Cost of beef + Cost of chicken = 5.46 + 14.975 + 11.975 = $32.41
