Problem

Ground beef costs $5.00$ dollars per kg. How much does 12 kg of ground beef cost? $\textbf {(A) 5.00 dollars} \ \ \ \textbf {(B) 12.00 dollars} \ \ \ \textbf {(C) 60.00 dollars} \ \ \ \textbf {(D) 17.00 dollars} \ \ \ \textbf {(E) 2.40 dollars}$

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)
