Given
jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham & pays a total of $30, turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham.
find out the combined cost of 1 pound of turkey and 1 pound of ham
To proof
As given in the question
jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham
total pay by jacinta = $30
let us assume that the price of the ham = x
as given in the question
turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham
turkey costs becomes = x - 1.50
then the equation becomes
30 = 4 (x - 1.50) + 2x
30 = 4x + 2x - 6
36 = 6x
x = 6
thus
ham cost per pound = $6
turkey cost per pound = 6 - 1.50
= $ 4.5
Now find out
cost of 1 pound of turkey + 1 pound of ham = $ 6 + $ 4.5
= $ 10.5
Hence proved
The actual quotient will be greater than 10 because 60 divided by 5 is 12, so the answer will be between 10 and 12, so it will be greater than 10
