Answer:

430p

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, we'll find the least common multiple for 15 and 18.

=> The least common multiple for 15 and 18 is 90

Plastic Knives:

Jace will buy 90 knives.

=> Packets = 90/18 = 5 Packets

Money for 5 Packets = 5 * 45

=> 225p

Plastic Forks:

Jace will buy 90 forks also.

=> Packets = 90/15 = 6 Packets

Money fro 6 packets = 6 * 41

=> 205p

Least Amount of Money Jace will spend = 225p+205p

=> 430p
