Answer:
- 18 tomatoes: £3.02
- £4.39 ⇒ 26 tomatoes
Step-by-step explanation:
a) at 12 tomatoes per box, 18 tomatoes will require 2 boxes. Then Isla's price will be ...
2(25p) +18(14p) = 50p +252p = £3.02
18 tomatoes in 2 boxes cost £3.02.
__
b) The 3 boxes cost 3(25p) = £0.75, so the tomatoes cost ...
£4.39 -0.75 = £3.64
at 14p each, the number of tomatoes is £3.64/£0.14 = 26
There are 26 tomatoes in 3 boxes costing £4.39.
