Price per pound of the ground turkey is #$3.45#

As #2.2# pounds of ground turkey costs #$7.59#

per pound price of turkey is #7.59/2.2#

= #(759/100)/(22/10)#

= #759/100xx10/22#

= #(11xx69)/100xx10/(11xx2)#

= #(cancel11xx69)/100xx(5cancel10)/(cancel11xxcancel2)#

= #(69xx5)/100#

= #345/100#

= #3.45#

Hence, price per pound of the ground turkey is #$3.45#
