Antoine is having a dinner party and his butcher recommends 1/2 pound of meat per person.  If he's inviting 6 people over and the beef tenderloin is $15.00 a pound, how much will this cost him?
He's inviting 6 people over and needs 1/2 pound of meat for each so that's 6*.5 = <<6*.5=3>>3 pounds of meat
The beef tenderloin is $15.00 a pound and he needs 3 pounds so that's 15*3 = $<<15*3=45.00>>45.00 for dinner
#### 45
