Final answer:

Jackie will pay an additional $12 to buy 3 more packs of hamburger, calculated by dividing the total cost she initially paid by the number of packs to find the price per pack, and then multiplying by the number of additional packs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much additional money Jackie will pay to buy 3 more packs of hamburger at the same sale price, we can use a ratio table to analyze the price per pack of hamburger and then calculate the total cost for the additional packs.

Step by Step Calculation:

  1. Find the cost per pack: Since 4 packs cost $16, divide $16 by 4 to find the price per pack. ($16 ÷ 4 = $4 per pack)
  2. Calculate the cost for 3 more packs: Multiply the price per pack by 3 to find out the additional cost. ($4 per pack × 3 packs = $12)

Therefore, Jackie will pay an additional $12 to buy 3 more packs of hamburger.
