Answer:
$9.38
Step-by-step explanation:
The pounds of roast beef that Marine bought = 2.5
The cost of a pound of the roast beef = $3.75
The amount of money paid be Marine can be determined by multiplying the pounds of roast beef bought by its cost per pound.
i.e amount paid = number of pounds of roast beef bought x cost per pound
= 2.5 x $3.75
= $9.375
The amount paid = $9.38
Therefore, the total amount of money paid by Marine for 2.5 pounds of the roast beef is $9.38.
