Answer 1

Maria states, "that means it costs $2.40 per pound of turkey." Is the correct statement

Explanation:

Looking at the above question, we are to solve for the cost of turkey per pound.

Mariah and Clarence are planning for a dinner party. The grocery store is selling a 25- pound turkey for $60 .

Hence:

25 pounds of turkey = $60

1 pound of turkey = $x

Cross Multiply

25 × $x = 1 × $60

$x = $60/25

$x = $2.4

Hence, the cost of 1 pound of turkey is $2.4

Therefore, the person who made the correct statement is Mariah.
