Answer 1

Answer: Hence the correct answer is difference between price=£1.35

Explanation:

Ruby wants to buy two meals at Restaurant A ,price of meal=£19.5 each and get another meal at half price, Price of two meal= 19.5+9.75=£29.25.

At Restaurarant B, Price of meal=£18 each and get 15% Off the cost of both.

The price of two meal= 36-36 x 15/100= £30.6.

Differece between the price =30.6-29.25=£1.35,

Hence the correct answer is difference between price=£1.35

I hoped this helped you!<3!

Answer 2

Explanation:

To calculate the price at Restaurant A, we need to find the cost of one meal at full price and the cost of the other meal at half price. One meal at full price would be £19.50, and the other meal at half price would be £19.50/2 = £9.75. So the total cost at Restaurant A would be:

£19.50 + £9.75 = £29.25

To calculate the price at Restaurant B, we need to find the cost of two meals with a 15% discount. The cost of two meals at full price would be £18 x 2 = £36. Then we can calculate the discount:

15% of £36 = £5.40

So the total cost at Restaurant B would be:

£36 - £5.40 = £30.60

The difference between the prices at the two restaurants is:

£29.25 - £30.60 = -£1.35

So Ruby would pay £1.35 less if she bought the meals at Restaurant B.
