John bow 27 packets of paper plates, costing £52.65, for a dinner party that he was hosting. his wife reminded him that he should have bought 35 packets to cater everyone who was coming. how much would this have cost?

You would divide £52.65 by 27 to find out what 1 packet costs, thus leads us to £1.95. Then you would do £1.95 x 35 as there are 35 packets to get the answer £68.25
