Question

The turkey, however, is priced per pound. The suggestion is that you plan for 1.5 pounds of turkey per guest. If the turkey costs $1.16 per pound, what is the largest size turkey you should buy and how many people can it feed?

Answer 1

$35 available, which at $1.16 per pound is 30 pounds. You will have 0.20 or 20 cents left.

That can feed 20 people
