Troy makes soup.  He buys 4 pounds of beef and 6 pounds of vegetables.  The vegetables cost $2 per pound and the beef is 3 times that price.  How much does everything cost?
The vegetables cost 2*6=$<<2*6=12>>12
The beef cost 2*3=$<<2*3=6>>6 per pound
So the beef cost 4*6=$<<4*6=24>>24
So the total cost is 12+24=$<<12+24=36>>36
