We know that Deli A sells an equal number of kilograms of American Provolone and Swiss cheese every day. As it sold 60kg of cheese yesterday, we know that it sold 20kg of each kind.
From the table we can get the prices per kilogram of each kind of cheese.
The total proceeds therefore are:
\(20kg * (15\$/kg + 17\$/kg + 19\$/kg) = 20kg * 51\$/kg = 1020\$\). Of course, this can also be calculated from the average kg price of all three kinds \((60kg * 17\$/kg)\)
Answer D

Answer D
Bunuel
Deli A Sold equal amount of cheese A=P=S
Total sales = 60 so each kind of cheese sold was 20kg
20 * 15 + 20 * 17 + 20 * 19 = 1020

all cheese are sold in equal quantity.
Total sum of price of all 1 kg of all cheese= 19+17+15=51$
Total cheese sold = 20 kg
Total sales=51*20=1020 $.. Hence answer is D
Total sum of price of all 1 kg of all cheese= 19+17+15=51$

Answer = D. $1020
20kg of each type of chess is sold
Total = 20* (15+17+19) = 20*17*3 = 1020
20kg of each type of chess is sold
Total = 20* (15+17+19) = 20*17*3 = 1020
Bunuel
OFFICIAL SOLUTION:
(D) If the weight is the same for each item, then there are 60/3 = 20 kilograms for each American, Swiss and Provolone cheese. Now we can calculate sale proceeds from each type.
American: $15 × 20 = $300.
Provolone: $17 × 20 = $340
Swiss: $19 × 20 = $380
The total sales are $300 + $340 + $380 = $1020.
The correct answer is D.

Important to notice that since (Amer) and (Swiss) are equidistant from (Prov), it is sufficient to multiply (Prov) for the total quantities.
American -2 $ vs. Provolone; Swiss +2$ vs. Provolone.
Provolone --> 17$ * 60 Kg = 1020
American -2 $ vs. Provolone; Swiss +2$ vs. Provolone.
Provolone --> 17$ * 60 Kg = 1020

20 kg of each type of cheese was sold in Deli A, so the revenue is:
20 x 15 + 20 x 17 + 20 x 19 = 300 + 340 + 380 = 1,020
Answer: D
