In May, the family spent:
- $4.25/pound x 3.2 pounds = $13.60 on hamburger
- $4/package x 3 packages = $12.00 on hot dogs
- Total spent = $13.60 + $12.00 = $25.60
In June, they bought 1 times as much hamburger as May, which means 1 x 3.2 = 3.2 pounds of hamburger.
They also bought "as many" hot dogs, which presumably means they bought 3 packages again.
In June, the family spent:
- $4.25/pound x 3.2 pounds = $13.60 on hamburger
- $4/package x 3 packages = $12.00 on hot dogs
- Total spent = $13.60 + $12.00 = $25.60
So they spent the same amount in both months. The answer is neither A, B, C, nor D.
