Question

A family of 4 people budgets £5.20 per person per day for food. What is the weekly budget for food?

Answer 1

£ 145.60

Explanation:

Budget for 1 person a day = £5.20

So, daily budget for 4 people = 5.20 * 4

= 20.80

Thus, weekly budget for 4 people = Daily budget * 7

= 20.8 * 7

= £ 145.60

Answer 2

£145.60

Explanation:

the daily budget for food for 4 people is £20.80

£5.20 a person/day for 4 people is £20.80 for 4 people/day (5.20x4=20.80)

the weekly budget for food for 4 people is £145.60

£20.80 budget every day for 7 days (a week) is £145.60 (20.8x7=145.6)
