The butcher shop sells a 3 lb package of chicken legs for $9.57.

The supermarket sells chicken legs for $7.68/kg.
Determine the price per kilogram that each store charges.
Which store has the lower price per kilogram?

cost at butcher = 9.57/3 = 3.19 per pound

= 7.03 per kg .....( there are 2.2046 pounds in a kg)

supermarket = 7.68 per kg

so the butcher is cheaper.

To determine the price per kilogram (kg) that each store charges, we need to convert the weight of the chicken legs at the butcher shop to kilograms.

Step 1: Convert the weight of the chicken legs at the butcher shop from pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg).
1 lb = 0.4536 kg

So, the weight of the chicken legs at the butcher shop in kilograms is:
3 lb * 0.4536 kg/lb = 1.3618 kg (rounded to 4 decimal places)

Step 2: Calculate the price per kilogram at each store.

At the butcher shop: $9.57 ÷ 1.3618 kg = $7.03/kg (rounded to 2 decimal places)

At the supermarket: The price is already given as $7.68/kg.

Step 3: Compare the prices per kilogram at each store.

The butcher shop charges $7.03/kg, while the supermarket charges $7.68/kg.

Since $7.03/kg is lower than $7.68/kg, the butcher shop has the lower price per kilogram for chicken legs.

To determine the price per kilogram that each store charges, we need to convert the weight of the chicken legs sold in the butcher shop from pounds to kilograms.

1 pound = 0.453592 kg

So the weight of the 3 lb package of chicken legs is:
3 lb * 0.453592 kg/lb = 1.360776 kg

Now we can calculate the price per kilogram for each store.

For the butcher shop:
Price per kilogram = $9.57 / 1.360776 kg ≈ $7.04/kg

For the supermarket:
The price per kilogram is already given as $7.68/kg.

To compare which store has the lower price per kilogram, we can simply compare the two prices per kilogram.
$7.04/kg < $7.68/kg

Therefore, the butcher shop has the lower price per kilogram.
