Brittany needs another $3.7405.              

Step-by-step explanation:

Per pound Cost of turkey = $5.96 per pound

The amount Brittany buys the turkey = 2.55 pounds

Brittany's cost for turkey = 2.55 × $5.96 = $15.198

Per pound cost for cheese = $3.35 per pound

The amount Brittany buys the cheese = 3.7 pounds

Brittany's cost for cheese = 2.55 × $3.35 = $8.5425

So,

Brittany's total cost = Turkey cost + Cheese cost

                                = $15.198 + $8.5425

                                = $23.7405

As brittany gave the clerk 20 dollars.

So, the amount she further needs will be:

$23.7405 - $20 =  $3.7405

Therefore, Brittany needs another $3.7405.
