A.0.20
B.1.20
C.3.15
D.9.00
3.45 / 0.75 = 4.6
6.60 / 1.5 = 4.4
4.6 - 4.4 = 0.20
0.20 for sure

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To find out how much more the turkey cost per pound compared to the ham, we need to calculate the cost per pound for both the turkey and the ham separately.
First, we need to find the cost per pound of turkey. Mrs. Wallace bought 0.75 pounds of sliced turkey for $3.45, so we divide the total cost by the weight:
Cost per pound of turkey = $3.45 / 0.75 pounds = $4.60 per pound
Next, we need to find the cost per pound of ham. Mrs. Wallace bought 1.5 pounds of sliced ham for $6.60, so we divide the total cost by the weight:
Cost per pound of ham = $6.60 / 1.5 pounds = $4.40 per pound
Finally, we subtract the cost per pound of ham from the cost per pound of turkey to find out how much more the turkey cost per pound than the ham:
Difference = Cost per pound of turkey - Cost per pound of ham
= $4.60 per pound - $4.40 per pound
= $0.20 per pound
So, the turkey cost $0.20 more per pound than the ham.
The correct answer is A. 0.20.
3.45/.75 = T?
6.60/1.5 = H?
T - H = ?
