Missing info:
Turkey Sizes:
small - 2kg - 3.9kg
medium - 4kg - 5.4kg
large - 5.5kg - 7.2kg
extra large - 7.3kg - 9.2kg

Turkey Prices:
Small / Medium - £5.99 per kg
Large / Extra Large - £4.99 per kg

3/4 lb x 14 persons = (3*14)/4 = 42/4 = 10.5 lbs

1 lb = 450 grams

10.5 lbs * 450grams/lb = 4,725 grams

1 kg = 1000 grams

4,725 grams * 1kg/1000 grams = 4725 kg / 1000 = 4.725 kg.

4.725 kg is under the Medium size of the Turkey.

Medium sized turkey costs
£5.99 per kg.

4.725 kg *
£5.99 per kg = £28.30

A turkey would cost
£28.30 for 14 people.
