There are a few solutions for this problem. One option could be:
Peggy decided to go out shopping for dinner. First she went into the butcher shop and bought 1.5kg of steak. She went in to the vegetable shop and bought 2.5kg of potatoes and 1kg of carrots. The potatoes and carrots cost her €7.99. On her way home Mary met her friend Peter whose wife had just had a beautiful 3.75kg baby girl. Peter had visited them in the hospital 17.5 km away. It had only taken him 25 minutes to drive home as the traffic was very light. Peggy said goodbye to Peter and walked home.
