Given :
Chicken costs $3.20 per pound, and beef costs $4.59 per pound.
To Find :
When purchasing 3 pounds, which meat is more expensive and by how much.
Solution :
Price of 3 pound chicken, [tex]P_c=3.2\times 3 = \$9.6[/tex] .
Price of 3 pound beef, [tex]P_b = 4.59\times 3=\$13.77[/tex] .
Now, difference in price :
P = $13.77 - $9.6 = $4.17 .
Therefore, beef is more expensive than chicken by $4.17 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
