Question

T-shirts are buy one get one free and jumpers are 3 for 2.

The normal price of a T-shirt is £5.20 and the normal price of a jumper is £12.20.
How much does it cost to get 5 jumpers and 6 T-shirts using this offer as appropriate?

Answer 1

£64.4

Explanation:

"T-shirts are buy 1 get 1 free"

Therefore if you buy 3 T-shirts, you would get the other 3 free So really you are only paying for 3 T-shirts if you want to get 6.

£5.20(3) = £15.6

"Jumpers are buy 3 for 2"

So you buy three for the price of 2.

3/2 = 5/x,

x = 3.33

We round this up to 4 and solve for the total cost of the jumpers.

12.2(4) = £48.8

Total:

15.6 + 48.8 = £64.4
