Question

Ms. Snork bought two steaks that weighed 3.76 lb and 2.48 lb. If the meat cost $3.20 per pound, what was the total cost of the steaks?

Answer 1

The steaks cost `$19.97`.

Explanation:

The total weight of the steaks that Ms Snork purchased is:

`3.76+2.48=6.24`

Since the meat costs `$3.20` per pound, the total cost of the steaks will be:

`6.24xx3.2=19.968`

Thus the steaks cost `$19.97`.
