Question

Jeremiah buys 3 lbs of cheese at $3.50

a pound. He also buys 5 lbs of sliced
turkey. If he spends $46.75 in total for
the cheese and turkey, what is the
price per pound of sliced turkey?

Answer 1

the price per pound for the turkey would be 7.25

Explanation:

first you would do 3x3.50 to find the total cost for the cheese

now you subtract that from 46.75

once you have that answer you divide by 5 :)

Answer 2

Answer: $7.25 per pound

Explanation:

3x3.5 + 5x = 46.75

5x+10.5 = 46.75

5x = 36.25

x = 7.25
