Question

Maria bought a 1.75-pound package of turkey at a cost of $3.90 per pound. How much did Maria spend?

Answer 1

A pound of turkey = $3.90.

To work out 75% of a whole you divide by 4, and multiply by 3.

3.90 / 4 = 0.975 = $0.975

0.975 x 3 = 2.925 = $2.925

$3.90 + $2.925 = $6.825

Maria spent $6.825 on a 1.75-pound package of turkey. :)

Hope this helps!!
