Answer 2

A. $1.75

B. $5.25

Explanation:

Rubys market sells smoked meats. The price of different type of meat is as given in the table.

Beef = $4.25 per pound

Chicken = $2.50 per pound

Sausage = $3.25 per pound

Turkey = $2.85 per pound

A.
`1(1)/(4)` pounds of beef costs = 1.25 × 4.25 = $5.31

`1(1)/(4)` pounds of turkey costs = 1.25 × 2.85 = $3.56

Beef costs more than turkey = 5.31 - 3.56 = $1.75

B. Brad ordered 1/2 pound of sausage = 0.5 × 3.25 = $1.625

and
`1(1)/(4)` pound of chicken = 1.25 × 2.50 = $3.125

Brad have to pay total = 1.625 + 3.125 = $4.75

Brad has $10.00 to spend, he paid $4.75.

Now Brad is left with = 10.00 - 4.75 = $5.25

A. Beef cost $1.75 more than turkey.

B. Now Brad has $5.25 after he pays for his order.
