Teresa orders 2 fancy ham and cheese sandwiches for $7.75 each at a local shop. While there, she decides to pick up some salami for $4.00, more brie which is three times the price of the salami, a 1/4 pound of olives that are $10.00 per pound, 1/2 pound of feta cheese that's $8.00 a pound and another loaf of french bread that is $2.00. How much does she spend at the local shop? Let's answer step by step:
She orders 2 sandwiches that are $7.75 so they cost 2 * $7.75 = $15.50. The brie is three times more expensive than the $4.00 salami so the brie costs 3 * $4 = $12.00. She buys 1 / 4 pound of the olives that costs $10.00 a pound so they cost .25 * $10 = $2.50. She buys 1 / 2 pound of feta that costs $8.00 a pound so it costs .5 * $8 = $4.00. The salami is $4.00, the brie is $12.00, olives are $2.50 and the feta is $4.00 and the sandwiches are $15.50 for a total of $4 + $12 + $2.50 + $4 + $15.50 = $38.00. Adding the french bread gives $38.00 + $2.00 = $40. The answer: 40.
