Question

The price of a turkey is $1.36 per pound. Write an equation that can be used to determine the total cost, c, for a turkey that weighs p pounds. Then, find the cost of Shawn’s 10 pound turkey.

Answer 1

C=$13.60

P=10

So, there for 10 Ibs • $1.36 = $13.60

Explanation:

1 p= $1.36

10 p= $13.60

Answer 2

The total price (c) would be the cost per pound ( $1.36 ) multiplied by the number of pounds bought (p)

C = 1.36p

Now replace p with the weight bought and calculate total cost:

c = 1.36(10)

c = $13.60
