Question

A local shop usually sells holly for 50p a bunch and mistletoe for 80p a bunch.

In December, these prices rise as demand grows. The price of holly rises by 10% and the price of mistletoe by 22%.

If I buy 3 bunches of holly and 2 of mistletoe, what will the total cost be to the nearest penny?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of 3 bunches of holly will be 50p x 3 = 150p

The price of 2 bunches of mistletoe will be 80p x 2 = 160p

The total cost of the holly and mistletoe will be 150p + 160p = 310p

The total cost to the nearest penny will be 310p + 10p = £3.20

So the answer is 3.2

Answer 2

Answer:

3(50p)(1.10) + 2(80p)(1.22) = 165p + 195.2p

= 360.2p
