Final answer:
To find out the weight of each new package, add the weights of all packages and divide by 4. This results in each package weighing 1.74 lbs. At $2.50 per pound, each package will cost $4.35.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the problem, we need to find out the total weight of all the packages of ground turkey that Katelyn bought and then divide that weight by 4 to find the weight of each new package. Katelyn bought packages weighing 2.65 lbs, 1.85 lbs, and 2.46 lbs. Adding these weights together gives us a total weight of:
2.65 lbs + 1.85 lbs + 2.46 lbs = 6.96 lbs
Dividing this total weight by 4 results in:
6.96 lbs ÷ 4 = 1.74 lbs per package
As for the pricing of each package, since Katelyn prices each pound at $2.50, we can find the total cost of each package by multiplying the price per pound by the weight of each package:
1.74 lbs x $2.50 = $4.35 per package
So each of Katelyn's packages of ground turkey will be priced at $4.35.
