Question

Travis bought a turkey for thanksgiving. if the turkey costs $1.30 per pound and he paid $18.85, how much did the turkey weigh?

Answer 1

14.50 LBS

Explanation:

Total/PerPound=Weight

18.85/1.30=x

x=14.50 Pounds.

When dealing with money, you should always round the decimal place to the nearest hundredths, and that is why you should say 14.50 instead of 14.5.

Answer 2

The answer is 14.5 lbs
