    Given:

    May:

    hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 4.25 = 13.60

    hotdogs: 3 packages * 4 = 12

    Total cost: 13.60 + 12 = 25.60

    June:

    hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 1 1/2 = 4.8 pounds * 4.25 = 20.4

    hotdogs: 3 packages * 1/3 = 1 package * 4 = 4

    Total cost: 20.4 + 4 = 24.4

    25.60 - 24.40 = 1.20

    They spent more on May by $1.20. Choice C.
