Question

Two shops, Lidal and Oldi, sell the same brand of toilet rolls but with different package sizes. Calculate the price per 36 rolls for each shop.

Answer 1

The answer is below

Explanation:

At Lidal shop, 4 toilet rolls is sold for £2.40. Therefore the cost of each toilet roll is given as:

Cost of each roll at Lidal = £2.40 / 4 = £0.60 per roll

Cost of 36 rolls = cost for each roll * 36 rolls = £0.60 per roll * 36 rolls = £21.6

At Oldi shop, 9 toilet rolls is sold for £4.68. Therefore the cost of each toilet roll is given as:

Cost of each roll at Oldi = £4.68 / 9 = £0.52 per roll

Cost of 36 rolls = cost for each roll * 36 rolls = £0.52 per roll * 36 rolls = £18.72
