Question

at the deli counter Sandy bought 1 3/4 pounds of cheese for $4 per pound into 1/4 lb of turkey for $6 per pound how much does Sandy's been on the deli counter

Answer 1

Answer-

Sandy's $8.50 been on the deli counter.

Solution-

The amount of cheese bought in pound is,

$=1\frac{3}{4}$

Price per pound of cheese is $4, so the total value of cheese is

$=1\frac{3}{4}\times 4=\frac{7}{4}\times 4=\ 7$

The amount of turkey bought in pound is,

$=\frac{1}{4}$

Price per pound of turkey is $6, so the total value of turkey is

$=\frac{1}{4}\times 6=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}=1\frac{1}{2}}=\ 1.50$

Total amount spent = Amount paid for cheese + Amount paid for turkey

= 7+1.50=$8.50

Therefore, Sandy's $8.50 been on the deli counter.
