Answer:
<em>The total amount that was spent is </em><em>$77.60</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let SB represent the size of beef
SB = 50 pound
Let CB represent the cost of milk
CB = $1.12 per pound
Let SM represent the size of milk
SM = 24 quarts
Let CM represent the cost of milk
CM = $0.90 per quart
<u>To calculate the total amount that was spent, </u>
<em>Total amount spent is calculated by adding total amount spent on beef and total amount spent on milk. To do that, we make use of the following expression</em>
Total spending = SB * CB + SM * CM
By substituting the right values, we'll get the total amount spent
SB = 50 pound
CB = $1.12 per pound
SM = 24 quarts
CM= $0.90 per quart
So, Total Spending = 50 pound * $1.12 per pound + 24 quarts * $0.90 per quart
Total Spending = $56.00 + $21.60
Total Spending = $77.60
<em>Hence, the total amount that was spent is </em><em>$77.60</em>
