Erin buys 3 packs of potatoes costing £2 each, 4 packs of carrots for £2 per pack, and 4 turnips costing 90p each. If she pays with a £20 note, how much change would she get in pounds, £?

Respuesta :

Answer: £2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Erin buys 3 packs of potatoes costing £2 each, 4 packs of carrots for £2 per pack, and 4 turnips costing 90p each.

Total cost of potatoes = 3 × £2 = £6

Total cost of carrots = 4 × £2 = £8

Total cost of turnips = 4 × 90p = £360p = £3.6

The total cost of things bought by Erin will now be:

= £6 + £8 + £3.6

= £17.6

If she pays with a £20 note, she will collect a change of:

= £20 - £17.6

= £2.4

= 2 pounds, 40 pennies.
