Answer 2

The total amount that was spent is $77.60

Explanation:

Given

Let SB represent the size of beef

SB = 50 pound

Let CB represent the cost of milk

CB = $1.12 per pound

Let SM represent the size of milk

SM = 24 quarts

Let CM represent the cost of milk

CM = $0.90 per quart

To calculate the total amount that was spent,

Total amount spent is calculated by adding total amount spent on beef and total amount spent on milk. To do that, we make use of the following expression

Total spending = SB * CB + SM * CM

By substituting the right values, we'll get the total amount spent

SB = 50 pound

CB = $1.12 per pound

SM = 24 quarts

CM= $0.90 per quart

So, Total Spending = 50 pound * $1.12 per pound + 24 quarts * $0.90 per quart

Total Spending = $56.00 + $21.60

Total Spending = $77.60

Hence, the total amount that was spent is $77.60
