Question

two stores advertised the turkey prices in anticipation of Thanksgiving ,store A sell 3 1/3 pounds of turkey for 10.50 b sell 2 1/2 pounds of turkey for 6.25

Answer 1

Store A sells 3 1/3 pounds of turkey for $10.50.

`3(1)/(3)=(3\cdot3+1)/(3)=(10)/(3)`

Then, we divide

`(10.50)/((10)/(3))=(30.50)/(10)=3.05`

Store A sells each pound for $3.05.

Store B sells 2 1/2 pounds of turkey for 6.25.

`(6.25)/(2.5)=2.50`

Stor B sells each pound for $2.50.

Hence, Store B is a better deal.
