Answer 1

Answer: 4 pack toilet roll.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost of 4 pack toilet roll=$\pounds2.04$

The cost of 1 pack in 4 pack roll= $\frac{2.04}{4}=\pounds0.51$

The cost of 9 pack toilet roll=$\pounds4.68$

The cost of 1 pack in 9 pack roll= $\frac{4.68}{9}=\pounds0.52$

We can see the cost of one pack in 4 pack roll is  $\pounds0.51$ which is  $\pounds0.01$  less than the cost of one pack in 9 pack roll.

Therefore, 4 pack toilet roll has better value.

4.68÷9= 0.52
4 pack is better value by 0.01
