Answer 1

Farm Shop is cheaper and better value

Explanation:

10kg Farm Carrots= £11

1kg of Farm carrot= 11/10= £1.1
1.5kg= 1kg+500g

500g of carrot= 1.1/2=0.55

1.5kg= £1.1+£0.55=£1.65

1.5kg of Supermarket carrot= £1.80

1.5kg of farm carrot= £1.65

Therefore, the carrots at the farm shop are of better value
