Question

Mrs Wall usually buys 12 pints of milk each week and pays her milkman £3.72. One week she had visitors and ordered an extra 3 pints. How much was her bill?

Answer 1

£4.65 is her bill

Explanation:

Here, we firstly need to calculate the unit price of a pint

Mathematically, in this case, that will be 3.72/12 = 0.31

ordering 3 extra pints means she would be buying a total 15

The price of this will be;

0.31 * 15 = £4.65
