Turkey is on sale this week at Wegmans for 19 cents a pound (that is a great price).  I am planning on 16 people for Thanksgiving dinner and my cookbook suggests a pound of turkey for each person.  How much will a turkey cost me this year for Thanksgiving?

Show your work.
Hint: Try adding 20 cents a pound for each person and then take away the extra pennies you added.


4th and 5th graders:  What will squash cost me that weigh 4.5 pounds altogether and sell for 59 cents a pound?
