Question
sliced turkey costs $3.20 per pound. Roast beef costs twice as much, and ground beef costs half as much as the turkey. Find the price of 1.75 pounds of sliced turkey

Answer
Hi Kristin,

Well, I'm just wondering if you're sure you phrased the question correctly.  

After all the information you've given me, if the question is simply to find the price of 1.75 lb of sliced turkey, all you have to do is multiply 1.75 lb by $3.20 per lb and you get $5.60

I'm not sure what all the information about the roast beef and ground beef has to do with anything.
