What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the cost of 1 pound of turkey = $ 1.05

Total number of people at the Thanksgiving dinner = 15 people

The number of servings for each person = 2 servings

The amount of turkey servings for each person = 2 x 3/8 pound servings

                                                                               = 3/4 pound servings

Now , the equation will be

So , the total cost of 3/4 pound servings of turkey =
3/4 x cost of 1 pound of turkey

The total cost of 3/4 pound servings of turkey = 3/4 x 1.05

                                                                             = $ 0.7875

Now , the cost for 15 people at the Thanksgiving dinner =
15 x total cost of 3/4 pound servings of turkey

The cost for 15 people at the Thanksgiving dinner = 15 x 0.7875

                                                                                    = $ 11.8125

Hence , The cost of the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner is $ 11.8125
