If hair bands cost 75 pence for five, how many would you be able to buy for £2.70?
75 pence for 5 is the same as 15 pence each.
Divide £ 2.70 by 0.15 and you get 18.
To calculate how many hair bands you would be able to buy for £2.70, we first need to find the cost of one hair band.
If five hair bands cost 75 pence, we can find the cost of one hair band by dividing the total cost by the number of hair bands.
75 pence divided by 5 equals 15 pence per hair band.
Now that we know the cost of one hair band, we can determine how many hair bands can be bought for £2.70 by dividing the total amount by the cost per hair band.
£2.70 divided by 15 pence equals 18.
Therefore, you would be able to buy 18 hair bands for £2.70.
