Answer:
e. $6.92
Explanation:
The cost of 1 pound of meat = $1.69
[tex]\text{ The cost of }3\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds of meat }=3.5\times1.69=\$5.92[/tex]Similarly, the cost per dozen of lemons = 60 cents
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ The cost of 1 lemon}=\frac{60}{12}=5\text{ cents} \\ \implies\text{ The cost of 20 lemons}=5\times20=100\text{ cents}=\$1 \end{gathered}[/tex]Add the two to find the total cost:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Total Cost}=5.92+1 \\ =\$6.92 \end{gathered}[/tex]The total cost of 3 1/2 pounds of meat at $1.69 per pound and 20 lemons at 60 cents per dozen will be $6.92.
Option E is correct.
