Answer:
a) 26 tickets
b) £5
c) chips, pastie and a soft drink
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Price of one ticket = £7.50
- Total available to spend = £200
Part (a)
Greatest number of tickets = total available to spend ÷ cost of one ticket
= 200 ÷ 7.5
= 26.66666...
= 26 tickets
(We can't round up, as 27 tickets would cost £202.50)
Part (b)
Money left = Total available spend - cost of 26 tickets
= 200 - (26 × 7.50)
= 200 - 195
= £5
Part (c)
Cost of 3 items = £10 - change
= £10 - £4.70
= £5.30
One of the items can't be a burger, as £5.30 - £3.50 = £1.80
and £1.80 is not enough to buy 2 items.
If he buys chips, he has: £5.30 - £2.40 = £2.90 left to spend on the other 2 items.
Pastie + Soft Drink = £1.60 + £1.30 = £2.90
So he can buy: chips, pastie and a soft drink
