Explanation:

you really need help with that ?

250g = 0.250kg = 0.25kg

comparing 0.25kg with 1.25kg : how many times of 0.25 is 1.25 ?

it is the same as with 25 to 125.

5 times !

so, you need to multiply the price also by 5 to get the price per 1.25kg :

0.88 × 5 = £4.40 = 440 pence per 1.25kg
