Question
Craig buys 4 oranges and 5 bananas. The total cost is £3.70. Each orange costs 35p. Work out the cost in pence of each banana. Please write your answer in pence (eg. 87p)
Solution
First, let's convert the total cost from pounds to pence. Since £1 is equal to 100p, £3.70 is equal to 370p.
Next, we know that each orange costs 35p. Craig buys 4 oranges, so the total cost of the oranges is: 4 oranges * 35p per orange = 140p
Now, we need to find the total cost of the bananas. The total cost of the oranges and bananas together is 370p, so the cost of the bananas is: 370p (total cost) - 140p (cost of oranges) = 230p
Craig buys 5 bananas, so the cost of each banana is: 230p (total cost of bananas) / 5 bananas = 46p
Therefore, the cost of each banana is 46p.
