Question

Ed buys a box of eggs costing £2.40, two packs of bacon for £2.60 each and two tins of baked beans.

He pays with a £10 note and gets 80p change.
How much does a tin of beans cost in pounds, £?

Answer 1

£0.80

Explanation:

1 box of eggs: £2.40

2 packs of bacon: 2 * £2.60

2 tins of baked beans: 2x

Change: 80p

Total = 2x + £2.40 + £5.20 + £0.80

Total = 2x + £8.40

2x + £8.40 = £10

2x = £1.60

x = £0.80

Answer: £0.80
