Question 10 of 40
This word problem has too much information. Which fact is not needed to
solve the problem?
During a sale at the grocery store, ground turkey costs $4.00 per pound. It
usually costs $5.50 per pound. Elio bought 12 pounds of ground turkey
during the sale. How much did the ground turkey cost?

Answer :

Elio bought the turkey while it was on sale for $4/pound. We need to know how much they paid, not how much they saved on the sale. The price that the turkey usually costs is not important to answer this question. So the fact that turkey usually costs $5.50 is not needed to solve the problem.
