Answer:

Mariah should be correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the unit rate of the turkey:

[tex]\frac{dollars}{pound} =\frac{60}{25}=2.40[/tex]

It cost $2.40 per pound for the turkey.

In the problem, Mariah states that the cost for each pound is $2.40, which matches the unit rate.

Therefore, Maria's statement should be correct about the turkey.
