Assumptions1. The amount of beef purchased is 3343 \frac{3}{4} pounds. The cost of beef per pound is $5.99\$5.99

STEP 2

We need to find the total cost of the beef. We can do this by multiplying the amount of beef purchased by the cost per pound.
Totalcost=AmountofbeeftimesCostperpoundTotal\, cost = Amount\, of\, beef \\times Cost\, per\, pound

STEP 3

First, we need to convert the mixed number 333 \frac{3}{} to an improper fraction.
33=153 \frac{3}{} = \frac{15}{}

STEP 4

Now, plug in the given values for the amount of beef and cost per pound to calculate the total cost.
Totalcost=154times$.99Total\, cost = \frac{15}{4} \\times \$.99

STEP 5

Calculate the total cost.
Totalcost=154times$5.99=$22.46Total\, cost = \frac{15}{4} \\times \$5.99 = \$22.46Mrs. Figueroa spent $22.46 on the beef for the spaghetti.
