Answer 1

Bobby bought 1.12 pounds of turkey at $2.50 per pound. He spent:

1.12 * $2.50 =$2.80

Carla bought 1.4 pounds of turkey at $2.20 per pound. She spent:

1.4 * $2.20 = $3.08

We can see Carla spent more than Bobby

The difference between their costs is:

$3.08 - $2.80 = $0.28

Carla spent $0.28 more than Bobby
