To find out how many more pounds of turkey the butcher shop sold on Thursday than Friday, we first need to determine the amount sold on Thursday and Friday and then find the difference.

On Wednesday, the shop sold 110 pounds of ground turkey.

On Thursday, they sold twice that amount, which is 2 * 110 pounds = 220 pounds of ground turkey.

On Friday, they sold 80 pounds of ground turkey.

To find the difference between the amount sold on Thursday and Friday:

220 pounds (Thursday) - 80 pounds (Friday) = 140 pounds

The butcher shop sold 140 pounds more of ground turkey on Thursday than on Friday.
