Question

4 Abi is going to buy ingredients to make 65 hot chocolate drinks.

Answer 1

Answer:

To make 65 chocolate drinks, she needs:

12 g of chocolate powder and 5 marshmallows per drink.

Then she needs:

12g*65 = 780 grams of chocolate powder.

We know that the chocolate powder comes in jars of 250g, such that each one costs £2.99

If she buys 3 jars, she will have: 3*250g = 750g

So she will not have enough, then she needs to buy 4 jars.

Then in chocolate powder, she will pay 4 times £2.99 = £11.96

And for marshmallows, she needs:

65*5 = 325 in total.

Marshmallows come in bags of 120, then the number of packs that Abi needs to buy is:

325/120 = 2.7

That should be rounded up (because she can not buy a 0.7 of a bag)

Then she needs 3 bags, and each bag costs £1.45

Then the total cost in marshmallows is 3*£1.45  = £4.35
