A 50g chocolate bar costs 60p. how much does each gram cost?
50 g cost 60 p
so 1 g costs 60/50 or 6/5 p or 1.2 p
Divide 60 by 50.
Russell, Sarah and Terry share money in the ratio 2:5:8 in total they have £120. Work out how much more Terry gets than Russell
To find out the cost per gram, you'll need to divide the total cost by the total weight.
In this case, the total weight is 50 grams and the total cost is 60p.
To calculate the cost per gram, divide the total cost (60p) by the total weight (50g):
60p / 50g = 1.2p/g
So, each gram of the 50g chocolate bar costs 1.2 pence.
