Question

Kenan bought some deli meat to serve his friends who were coming over to his house after soccer practice. He got 2 1/16 pounds of turkey for $4.85 per pound and 1 5/8 pounds of roast beef for $6.75 per pound. How much did the deli meat cost him?

Answer 1

He spent $20.95.
Turkey: 4.85÷16= .303
(4.85)(2)= 9.70 +.303= 10.003
Roast Beef: 6.75÷8=.84
(6.75)(1)=6.75 + (.84)(5)= 6.75+4.2=10.95
10.003+10.95=20.95
