The difference when buying 750 grams of hot chocolate is $0.6075
How to determine the price difference
To determine the price difference when buying 750 grams of hot chocolate, we need to calculate the cost per gram for each brand and then multiply it by 750.
For Brand A:
Price per gram = £2.70 / 125 g
Price per gram = £0.0216
Total cost for 750 grams of Brand A = £0.0216 * 750
Total cost for 750 grams of Brand A = £16.20
For Brand B:
Price per gram = £3.15 / 150 g
Price per gram = £0.021
Total cost for 750 grams of Brand B = £0.021 * 750
Total cost for 750 grams of Brand B = £15.75
The price difference when buying 750 grams of hot chocolate is the difference between the total costs for both brands:
Difference = Total cost of Brand A - Total cost of Brand B
Difference = £16.20 - £15.75
Difference = £0.45
Converting £0.45 to USD will depend on the exchange rate at the time. Let's assume an exchange rate of 1 GBP = 1.35 USD.
Price difference in USD = £0.45 * 1.35
Price difference in USD = $0.6075
