Large Jar Small Jar 540g for £4.10 360g for £2.81 By considering the amount of honey per penny, work out which jar is the best value for money. Working must be shown.

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the large Jar is $4.10 for 540g

and small jar $2.81 for 360 g

You need to show how much it cost for 1 g,so you can compare how much it cost per gram. You would divide the total cost by the grams to see how much it is for 1 g.

Large jar. $4.10/540 = $.0076 for 1 gram

Small Jar. $2.81/360 =$.0078 for 1 gram

Because the large jar is cheaper to buy per gram, the large jar is the best value for the money.
