Of 128 dogs at a dog show, 50% were female. Among these females, 3 out of 4 were over the age of 4. How many of the dogs were females 4 years old or older?

Explanation: The total number of dogs is \(128\). It is stated that \(50\%\) of these dogs were female. The number of female dogs is calculated as: \(\text{Number\ of\ female\ dogs}=128\times \frac{50}{100}=128\times 0.5=64\)

If 1 pound of mesquite-smoked, deli-sliced turkey breast costs $7.98 at the second-largest grocery store in town, and each slide is about 1 ounce, what is the cost of 5 slices?

The cost of 5 slices is $2.49

Explanation: The number of ounces in one pound is determined, which is 16 ounces. The cost per ounce is calculated by dividing the cost of one pound by the number of ounces in a pound: $7.98 16 ounces=$0.49875 per ounce. The cost of 5 slices is determined by multiplying the cost per ounce by the desired number of slices: $0.49875 per ounce x 5 ounces=$2.49375. The final cost is rounded to the nearest cent, resulting in $2.49.
