<em>I will need to buy 22.5 pounds of turkey and pay $23.63</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

Each person is planned to eat 2 x 3/8 pound servings of turkey for thanksgiving dinner. This means each person will eat

$2\cdot\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$

pounds of turkey.

There are going to be 15 people at the dinner, thus the total turkey needed is:

$15\cdot\frac{3}{2}=22.5~pounds$

The turkey costs $1.05 per pound, thus the total cost is

22.5*$1.05 = $23.63

I will need to buy 22.5 pounds of turkey and pay $23.63
