Answer 1

Complete question

Shop A _________________ shop B £3

Any sandwich - £2.85 ___ sandwich, water crisp

A bottle of water - 60p

A bag of crisp - 85p

Answer:

£6.50, John is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of working days = 5 = number of days meal is purchased

Total cost per meal, shop A :

£(2.85 + 0.60 + 0.85) = £4.3

Total cost for the week = 4.3 * 5 = £21.50

Total cost per meal cost Shop B = £3

Total cost for the week = 3 * 5 = £15

Difference :

£21.50 - £15 = £6.50

Hence, Amount John saves by buying from shop B is £6.50
