Answer 2

A. 3 pounds of Chicken costs $9.60

B. 3 pounds of Beef costs $13.77

C. 3 pounds of Beef cost $4.17 more than 3 pounds of Chicken

Explanation:

A. To calculate the exact cost of 3 pounds of chicken, we multiply the price per pound by the number of pounds. Given that chicken costs $3.20 per pound, we have:

Cost of 3 pounds of chicken = $3.20/pound * 3 pounds = $9.60

Therefore, the exact cost of 3 pounds of chicken is $9.60.

B. Similarly, to calculate the exact cost of 3 pounds of beef, we multiply the price per pound by the number of pounds. Given that beef costs $4.59 per pound, we have:

Cost of 3 pounds of beef = $4.59/pound * 3 pounds = $13.77

Therefore, the exact cost of 3 pounds of beef is $13.77.

C. To find out how much more 3 pounds of beef costs than 3 pounds of chicken, we subtract the cost of 3 pounds of chicken from the cost of 3 pounds of beef. Using the values calculated above:

Cost of 3 pounds of beef - Cost of 3 pounds of chicken = $13.77 - $9.60 = $4.17

Therefore, 3 pounds of beef cost $4.17 more than 3 pounds of chicken.
