Answer:
the answer is D. 38.15
Explanation:
the lunch meat is 5.50 for 5lbs. She only needs 2 1/2 lbs so you would just divide 5.50 by 2 (because 2 1/2 is half of 5). for the soft drinks, it is 9.99 for 3 so each one 3.33 (divide 9.99 by 3). When you add two more to get five cases in total, you get 16.65 (because 9.99 plus 3.33 plus 3.33 = 16.65). the lunch meat is 4.25 each and you need 3 so you just multiply 4.25 by 3. the snack mix bags are 2 for 1.50 each. that means that two is 3.00. you need four so you just do 3.00+3.00 which equals 6. when you add these totals together, you get 38.15
