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.
