Question

Ed buys a box of eggs costing £2.20, two packs of bacon for £2.80 each and two tins of baked beans.

Answer 1

Solving a linear equation, we can conclude that each tin costs £0.75

How much does a tin of beans cost in pounds?

First, we know that Ed buys one box of eggs for £2.20.

Also two packs of bacon for £2.80 each.

And two tins of beans for X each.

Then the total cost is:

C =  £2.20 + 2*£2.80 + 2*X

Now, we also know that when he pays with £10, he gets a change of £0.70.

Then we can solve the linear equation:

£10 - (£2.20 + 2*£2.80 + 2*X) = £0.70

£2.20 - 2*X = £0.70

£2.20 - £0.70 = 2*X

£1.50 = 2*X

£1.50/2 = X = £0.75

In this way, we can conclude that each tin costs £0.75
