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?

40
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.

.

Therefore, the answer is 40
