    \begin{array}{ccll} Lbs&\$\\ \cline{1-2} 1&2.99\\ 3.2&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{3.2}=\cfrac{2.99}{x}\implies x = (3.2)(2.99)\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{x = 9.57}

    $9.56

    Explanation:

    3 pounds of ham is going to cost $8.97.
    To get the 1/5 pound price, multiply the cost of a pound of ham by 1/5 (0.2 in this case) to get $0.568. The final step is to just add the prices together.
