Question

Maria went to the store and bought 3 packages of bacon and 3 cartons of egg for which she paid a total of

B/7.45. Since I didn't know that she had already gone, I went to the store and bought 2 packages of bacon and 3 cartons of eggs, so I paid a total of B/6.45. Now we want to return 2 packages of bacon and 2 egg cartons. How much money will they refund us?

Answer 1

To determine the refund amount, subtract the amount paid by the student from the amount paid by Maria: (B/7.45 / 6) - (B/6.45 / 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the refund amount, we need to calculate the difference between the total amount paid by Maria and the total amount paid by the student.

Maria paid B/7.45 for 3 packages of bacon and 3 cartons of eggs. This means she paid B/7.45 / 6 (since there are 6 items in total).

The student paid B/6.45 for 2 packages of bacon and 3 cartons of eggs. This means he paid B/6.45 / 5 (since there are 5 items in total).

The refund amount can be calculated by subtracting the amount paid by the student from the amount paid by Maria: (B/7.45 / 6) - (B/6.45 / 5).
