Question

The butcher shop sells a 3 lb package of chicken legs for $9.57. The supermarket sells chicken legs for $7.68/ kg. Determine the price per kilogram that each store charges. Which store has the lower price per kilogram?

Answer 1

Since you want the price per kg, we have to convert to kg
1 lb = 0.453592 kg
so 3 lb = 1.3608 kg

so price at butcher shop = 9.57/1.3608 dollars/kg = $7.03 / kg
you said The supermarket sells at $7.68 / kg

so ....
