Answer 1

Answer:

1.44 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are told that:

The shop has 3 for 2 offer on chocolate bars going on .This means a customer can buy 2 chocolates get 1 free, for the price of 2 chocolates, a customer can get 3 chocolates.

If the price of 1 chocolate bar = 72p

2 chocolate bars =

72p × 2

= 144p

Hence, Sian spends 144p

We are asked to convert our answer to pounds

The symbol p represent pence in money form

Hence,

100p(pence) = 1 pound

144p(pence) = x

100p × x = 144p × 1

x = 144p/100p

x = 1.44 pounds

Therefore, Sian spends 1.44 pounds
