Question

A) A pack of 8 batteries cost £3.99 how much dose each battry cost? ( give your answer in penny ?) ________________________________B) A pack of 6 batteries of the same type costs 2.79. By calculating the price of the battery determine if this is a better value. You must show your working out?

Answer 1

£3.99 divided by 8 is £0.49875
Which, changed into pence and rounded up, is 50p.

£2.79 divided by 6 is £0.465
Which, changed into pence and rounded up is 47p.

50p is bigger than 47p

50 subtract 47 is 3p

The second one has the better value for money as it costs 3p less per battery.

Answer 2

Answer:

A). 50 penny

B) This type of battery is cost effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) A pack of 8 batteries cost 3.99 pounds so one battery will cost = 3.99/8 = 0.499 pound

Since 1 pound = 100 penny

So 0.499 pound = 100×0.499 = 50 penny

B). A pack of 6 batteries of the same type costs 2.79 pounds

So one battery will cost = 2.79/6 = 0.465 pound  or 47 penny

Now we say that type A batteries are costlier than B. Therefore B type batteries are of a better value.
