Question

two stores advertised the turkey prices in anticipation of Thanksgiving ,store A sell 3 1/3 pounds of turkey for 10.50 b sell 2 1/2 pounds of turkey for 6.25

Answer 1

Store A sells 3 1/3 pounds of turkey for $10.50.

$3\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3\cdot3+1}{3}=\frac{10}{3}$

Then, we divide

$\frac{10.50}{\frac{10}{3}}=\frac{30.50}{10}=3.05$

Store A sells each pound for $3.05.

Store B sells 2 1/2 pounds of turkey for 6.25.

$\frac{6.25}{2.5}=2.50$

Stor B sells each pound for $2.50.

Hence, Store B is a better deal.
