Question

If a 10 pound turkey cost 20.42 how much does 21 pound turkey cost

Answer 1

$42.88

Explanation:

We can set up a cross product fraction ratio to find how much 21 pounds of turkey costs.

`(10)/(20.42) = (21)/(x)`

Let's apply the cross multiplication property.

`20.42\cdot21=428.82`

Now we divide this by 10.

`428.82/10=42.882`

This simplifies down to
`42.88`.
