Let t be the amount of pounds of turkey, and each pound sells for 59cents. 

 the PRICE IS t amount SOLD at 59cents 

 P = 59t 

 so what if t = 14? 

 P = 59(14) 

 P = 826 cents.... or $8.26 




 What if the price was $10... aka 1000 cents? 

 1000 = 59t 

 isolate t by dividing both sides by 59 

 t ~ 16.94 

 THEREFORE you could by turkey almost 17 pounds.
