1.8 lbs of ham at 3.95 per lb : (1.8 3.95) = 7.11
2.15 lbs onions at 0.89 per lb : (2.15 0.89) = 1.91
8 cans at 1.05 per can : (8 * 1.05) = 8.40

7.11 + 1.91 + 8.40 = 17.42 <=== total cost without tax

The total cost before sales tax is 17.42 cent

Cost of 1 pound of ham = 3.95 cent

Cost of 1.8 pounds of ham = 3.95  x 1.8

Cost of 1.8 pounds of ham = 7.11 cent

Cost of 1 pound of onions = 0.89 cent

Cost of 2.15 pound of onions = 0.89 x 2.15

Cost of 2.15 pound of onions = 1.9135 cent

Cost of 1 can of soup = 1.05 cent

Cost of 8 cans of soup = 1.05 x 8

Cost of 8 cans of soup = 8.4 cent

Total cost before sales tax = Cost of 1.8 pounds of ham + Cost of 2.15 pound of onions  + Cost of 8 cans of soup

Total cost before sales tax = 7.11 + 1.9135 + 8.4

Total cost before sales tax = 17.42 cent
