Three sizes of cereal are sold.Size Weight (g) Price (GBP) Small 400 1.36 Medium 600 1.92 Large 1000 4.00
Which size has the lowest price per 100 g?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Medium
- Step 1: Divide each price by the weight in hundreds of grams. Step 2. Small: 1.36 / 4 = 0.340, Medium: 1.92 / 6 = 0.320, Large: 4.00 / 10 = 0.400. Medium is lowest. Answer: Medium. Why not the others: Small costs 0.340 per 100 g, higher than 0.320; Large costs 0.400 per 100 g, higher than 0.320; the prices per 100 g are not equal.
