Question 31305
Assume that the price of rabbit meat is x dollars per pound
Then the price of raccoon meat will be 3x dollars per pound

$72 can buy 72/x pounds of rabbit meat and 72/(3x) pounds of raccoon meat

72/x + 72/(3x) = 160 (because total weight of the meat is 160 pounds)

=>(1/x)[72+72/3]=160
=>(1/x)[72+24]=160
=>(1/x)(96)=160
=>1/x=160/96=5/3
=>x=3/5=.60 cents per pound

Price of rabbit meat is $.60 per pound
The price of raccoon meat is 3(.60)=$1.80 per pound
