Question

Doughnuts at one shop cost £1.40 each.

Answer 1

Given parameters:

Cost of doughnut at one shop = £1.40

Unknown

Difference in the cost of doughnuts at the two shops = ?

To find the difference in the cost of doughnuts at the two shops, we must know the cost of doughnut at the second shop;

  Given that the cost of doughnut at the other shop is 20% more;

       = 1.20 x £1.4

       = £1.68

The difference in the cost of doughnuts  = £1.68 - £1.40 = £0.28

So the answer is £0.28
