the piece of turkey depends on its weight. Suppose turkeys sell for $.59 per pound. write a rule to describe the function. what is the price of a 14lb turkey? if you had $10 to buy a turkey, how big of a turkey could you buy?
C = .59P where C is the total cost for P pounds
14 pounds cost .59(14) = $8.26
10 = .59P divide both sides by .59
≈ 16.9 [ you could buy a turkey that weighs approx. 16.9 lbs. ]
