To find the price per pound of turkey, you can divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds.
The total cost is $14.40 for 3.2 pounds.
Using the formula:
\[
\text{Price per pound} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total weight}}
\]
Substituting in the values:
\[
\text{Price per pound} = \frac{14.40}{3.2}
\]
Now performing the division:
\[
\text{Price per pound} = 4.50
\]
So, the price for one pound of turkey is **$4.50**.
