Problem

Ground beef costs $&#36; 5.00$ per kg. How much does 12 kg of ground beef cost?

\[\textbf {(A) } &#36; \textbf {5.00} \ \ \ \textbf {(B) } &#36; \textbf {12.00} \ \ \ \textbf {(C) } &#36; \textbf {60.00} \ \ \ \textbf {(D) } &#36; \textbf {17.00} \ \ \ \textbf {(E) } &#36; \textbf {2.40}\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)

Solution

$\dfrac {&#36; 5.00}{1 \cancel {\text { kg}}} \times 12 \cancel {\text { kg}} = \boxed {\textbf {(C) \ &#36; 60.00}}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
