There is nothing better than fresh locally grown strawberries during the summer.
The local farm shop sells strawberries at a fixed cost per gram.
450g of strawberries in the farm shop costs £2.50.
Work out the cost of ½ a kilogram of strawberries at the farm shop.
Answer:
½ of a kilogram = 500g
450g costs £2.50
450/9 = 50 and 2.50/9 = 0.28 so 50g costs £0.28
450g + 50g = 500g
£2.50 + £0.28 = £2.78
