Question

Mr. Johnson is going to buy an 18 3/4 pound turkey for Thanksgiving. The turkey cost $2.80 per pound at the grocery store. if the grocery store runs a 20% discount on turkeys, how much will Mr. Johnson save (before taxes)?

A. $1.05

B. $3.75

C. $10.50

D. $42.00

Answer 1

D)$42.00

Explanation:

18 3/4 is equal to 18.75, so 18.75x2.80 is your original cost (52.5). After doing that, since 52.5=100% you are going to divide 52.5 by 5 since 20x5=100. So 20% is 10.5. 52.5-10.5= $42.00
