Answer 1

Choose the correct answer from your choices.

Explanation:

First, we find the price of the turkey by multiplying the weight of turkey by the price per pound.

2.1 pounds of turkey at the deli. The price of the turkey was 2.87 per pound.

2.1 lb * 2.87 $/lb = $6.03

Then, we find the price of the ham by multiplying the weight of ham by the price per pound.

She also bought 4.8 pounds of ham. The price of the ham was 2.11 per pound.

4.8 lb * 2.11 $/lb = $10.13

Now we add the two prices together.

$6.03 + $10.13 = $16.16

The total price was $16.16
