£1.89 £4.30 £8.46

A 2 kg box of soap powder costs £1.89

A 5 kg box of soap powder costs £4.30
A 9 kg box of soap powder costs £8.46
Which size of box is the best value for money?
Explain your answer.
You must show all your working.

2kg = 1.89 this suggests 1kg = 0.945

5kg = 4.30 so 1 kg = 0.86
9kg = 8.46 so 1kg = 0.94
5kg thus cheapest best value for money
