Q1. You need 3 tins of peas. Tins of peas normally cost 45p each:-

Sellsbury’s have a deal that says, “Buy 2 get one free”

Besco’s have a deal saying “20% off tins of peas”

ESDA have a deal that says “Peas were 45p, now 38p!”

Which of the above is the best value for money? (Show why)

Sellsbury’s – 45p + 45p = 90p for 3 cans

Besco’s – 20% off => 45p ÷ 100 x 20 = 9p off so 3 cans would cost 36p + 36p + 36p = £1.08

ESDA – 38p x 3 = £1.14

This means that Sellsbury’s is the cheapest. (4 marks)
