Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>In this problem we are expected to determine which purchase of honey is the cheapest ? large jar or small jar ?.</h2><h2 />We will determine which has the best value for money using the quantity a pound can purchase.

if £4.10 will purchase 540g of honey then,
£1.00 will purchase xg

Hence for the large jar a penny would buy 131.7g of honey
secondly for the small jar
if £2.81 will purchase 360g of honey then,
£1.00 will purchase xg
cross multiplying to find x will have
Hence for the small jar a penny would buy 128.1g of honey
