Please look at the attachment and help me with my question! (╥︣﹏᷅╥)

Answer 1

Peter:

£2.30 ÷ 6 = £0.38 each sausage

Paul:

£3.50 ÷ 10 = £0.35 each sausage

As you can tell, it is cheaper to buy from Paul because each sausage is £0.35 which is 3 pence less than buying from Peter.

In other words, the best value for money would go to the 10 pack sausage, saving £0.03 per unit of sausage.

However, that doesn't answer the question. You need to find how many packages you can get with your available £10.

£10 ÷ £2.30 = 4.34...

So, you can buy 4 packs of sausage from Peter - meaning you will get 24 sausages in total. This is because each pack contains 6 sausages, and you have 4 of this. (6x4=24)

£10 ÷ £3.50 = 2.85...

So, you can buy 2 packs of sausages from Paul & meaning you will get 20 sausages in toal because each package contains 10 sausages. (2x10 = 20)

Thus, you should buy from Peter because you get 24 sausages, instead of 20 sausages from Paul, in accordance to the £10 you can spend in both shops.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

we conclude that the store where you can get more sausages is in Peter the Butcher.

Which shop is the best option?

You have £10.

Peter the Butcher sells 6 sausages for £2.30

The number of packages that you can buy is:

£10/£2.30 = 4.3

Rounding down to the next whole number, we conclude that here you can buy 4 packages, then:

4*6 = 24 sausages

4*£2.30 = £9.20

So here you can buy 24 sausages for £9.20

In Paul the butcher, you can buy 10 sausages for £3.50

Notice that here you can only buy 2 packages (because the cost of 3 packs would be  £10.50, which is more than the amount you can spend).

Then here you only can get 20 sausages.

Then, we conclude that the store where you can get more sausages is in Peter the Butcher.
