Question

Two shops, waitrose and budgens sell the same brand of cans of soup but with different offers. Calculate the price for 18 tins at each shop. 6 for £4.25 9 for £6.14

Answer 1

Waitrose: £12.75

Budgens: £12.28.

Explanation:

The price of 6 tin cans in waitrose is £4.25

The price of 9 tin cans in budgens is £6.14

The price of one tin can in waitrose is

`(4.25)/(6)`

The price of 18 tin cans in waitrose will be

`(4.25)/(6)* 18=\pounds 12.75`

The price of one tin can in budgens is

`(6.14)/(9)`

The price of 18 tin cans in budgens will be

`(6.14)/(9)* 18=\pounds12.28`

The price of 18 tin cans in waitrose is £12.75 and in budgens is £12.28.
