Question

May someone please help me with this question?​

Answer 1

Beef $4.25 x 1.25 = $5.31
Turk.: $2.85x 1.25= $ 3.56

Difference: $5.31 - $3.56 = $ 1.75

Answer 2

The beef cost $1.75 more

Explanation:

1 1/4 lbs of beef = 1.25 lbs

If cost 4.25 per pound

Cost = amount times rate

= 1.25 * 4.25

=5.3125

To the nearest cent

5.31

1 1/4 lbs of turkey = 1.25 lbs

If cost 2.85 per pound

Cost = amount times rate

= 1.25 * 2.85

=3.5625

To the nearest cent

3.56

The difference is

5.31-3.56 =1.75
