It costs $14.40 for 3.2 pounds of turkey at the deli counter. What is the price for one pound of turkey?

Question

$ per pound

Answer 1

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.
