Answer:
1 1/3 pounds of American cheese is equivalent to 4/3 pounds of American cheese.
2 1/4 pounds of turkey is equivalent to 9/4 pounds of turkey.
2/3 pound of cheddar cheese is equivalent to 0.67 pounds of cheddar cheese.
So the cost of each item is:
American cheese: (4/3) x $6.99 = $9.32 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Turkey: (9/4) x $5.99 = $13.48 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Cheddar cheese: 0.67 x $3.99 = $2.67 (rounded to the nearest cent)
To find the total cost, we add up these amounts:
$9.32 + $13.48 + $2.67 = $25.47
Therefore, the customer paid $25.47 for all the items.
