From the information given,

gus bought 2/3 pound of turkey. If tukey costs 9 dollars per pound, it means that the cost of 2/3 pound of turkey is

2/3 x 9 = 6

gus bought 1/4 pound of ham. If ham costs 7 dollars per pound, it means that the cost of 1/4 pound of ham is

1/4 x 7 = 7/4 = 1.75

Total amount spent = amount spent on turkey + amount spent on ham

Total amount = 6 + 1.75

Total amount = $7.75
