Question

The total cost of these 2 pens is 60p.

Work out the total cost of 5 of these pens.
Give your answer in pounds.

Answer 1

£1.50

Explanation:

If two pens equal 60p

do 2 x 2 = 4

4 pens equal £1.20

to get 1 pen do 60p divided by 2

which equals 30p

now add £1.20 and 30p

Answer 2

150p

To find the cost of one pen, do 60/2

So 30p/ pen

Just multiply this value by 5 :)

30 x 5= 150
