a.$6.00

b.$6.40

c.$6.52

d.$6.82

e.$6.92

Answer 1

Answer:

E. $6.92.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply $1.69 by 3.5, since we are buying 3.5 pounds of meat at $1.69, and we get 5.915. (Round it up to $5.92)

Next, we are buying 20 lemons, or 1 and 2/3 dozen lemons. If it's 60 cents per dozen, we would do 1 and 2/3 times 60, and we get 100 cents, or $1.00.

$5.92 + $1.00 = $6.92.
