Answer 1

200 g of coffee at £ 2.40 is the better value for money.

Explanation:

200 divide 2.40 = $83.33.....per gram and 600 divide 7.10 = $84.51 per gram, so 200 g of coffee at $ 2.40 is actually a little cheaper.

Answer 2

600 g of coffee at £7.10.

Explanation:

To determine which option is a better value for money, we can calculate the price per gram for each option.

For 200 g of coffee at £2.40:

Price per gram = £2.40 ÷ 200 g

Price per gram = £0.012 per gram

For 600 g of coffee at £7.10:

Price per gram = £7.10 ÷ 600 g

Price per gram = £0.0118 per gram

Comparing the two prices per gram, we can see that £0.0118 per gram is a lower price than £0.012 per gram. Therefore, 600 g of coffee at £7.10 is a better value for money compared to 200 g of coffee at £2.40.
