If 2 1/2 lb. of turkey costs $6.25 and 2 1/4 lb. of turkey costs $5.75, which brand of turkey is the better buy?

To solve this, let's try finding the unit rate:

First, let's turn the fractions into decimals.

2.5x = 6.25

2.25x = 5.75

x = 2.5

x = 2.55555555556

The $6.25 turkey is the better buy

step-by-step explanation:

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
