Question

At Pathmark, 4 pounds of pork chops cost $12.60 and 5 pounds of ground beef cost $10.25. Find the total cost of 11 pounds of pork chops and 12 pounds of ground beef.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let pork chops and ground beef be x and y respectively.

4x = $12.60

x = $3.15

11x = $34.65

5y = $10.25

y = $2.05

12y = $24.60

11x + 12y = $34.65 + $24.60

              = $59.25
