The answer is 47 pounds
Explanation:
1. First, let's calculate the amount of money that was spent on chicken
$5 per pound of chicken x 25 pounds = $125
2. Calculate the amount of money left to buy beef by subtracting the total spend on chicken to the total of the budget.
$454 (total) - $125 (chicken) = $329
3. Calculate how many pounds of beef you can buy with the money left by dividing the money into the price for one pound.
$329 / $7 = 47 pounds
