Question

Multi-step: At the butcher shop, Jason bought 2.4 pounds of ground beef for $5.20 per pound. He bought 3.2 pounds of ground turkey for $2.90 per pound. How much more did Jason spend on beef than on turkey?

Answer 1

beef
2 lb = $5.20×2
2 lb = $10.4
.4 lb = $5.20 × 0.4
.4 lb = $2.08
beef total $10.04+$2.08=$12.48

Turkey
3 lb=$2.9×3
3 lb =$8.7
.2 lb = $2.9×0.2
.2 lb= $0.58
Turkey total $8.7+$0.58=$9.28

difference $12.48-$9.28=$3.2
Jason spent $3.2 more on beef then turkey

Answer 2

Jason spent 12.48 on ground beef and 9.28 on ground turkey so Jason spent 3.20 more on ground beef than the turkey I think
