Turkey-$4.99

Answer 1

Explanation:

since this answer wants an approximation, we can round the cost up

Ham- 6 1/2 of 6 = 3

Turkey- 5 1 pound of turkey= 5

Roast Beef- 7 1/4 of 7= 1.75

Salami- 3 2 x 3= 6 1/2 of 3= 1.5 = 7.5

bologna- 4 No bologna was purchased.

3+5+1.75+ 7.5= 17.25 which is approximately 17.
