Well we know that 10 and 3/4 is equivalent to 10.75.  If we divide the meat into 8 equal packages we have to divide 10.75 by 8.  Dividing 10.75 by 8 gives us 1.34375 pounds of meat per package.  If we take that, and multiply it by our given value of $3.40 per pound, we end up getting $4.57 a package.

Answer: The price of each package will be <u>$4.57</u> or <u>4 dollars and 57 cents</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total butcher has total ground beef of mass , m=10\frac{3}{4}pounds=10.75pounds

Price of beef , P = 3.40 dollars per pound

Thus the price of 10.75 pounds of beef ,

P_t=m\times P=\$ 10.75\times 3.40=\$ 36.55

Now the whole amount of beef is divided into 8 equal packets

Therefore price of each packet is given by

P_1=\frac{P_t}{8}=\$ \frac{36.55}{8}

=>P_1=\$ 4.57

Thus the price of each package will be <u>$4.57</u> or <u>4 dollars and 57 cents</u>
