Answer:
6 mangoes
0.38 or 38p
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently the value of the mango is £ 0.77, which means that to get the number of mangoes you can buy, you must divide this value to the amount of money you have, that is, £ 5
5 / 0.77 = 6.49
which means that it is enough for 6 mangoes.
To know the change, multiply the value of one by 6 and subtract it with £ 5, it would be the change.
6 * 0.77 = 4.62
5 - 4.62 = 0.38
That is, the change is £ 0.38 or 38p
Answer:
(a) 6 mangoes
(b) £0.38
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The greengocers sell the mangoes for 77 p.
The greatest number of mangoes you can buy for £5 can be gotten by dividing £5 by the price of each mango (77 p). We will only pick the whole number part because number of mangoes can only be whole number.
First, we convert £5 to pence:
£1 = 100 pence
=> £5 = 5 * 100 = 500 pence
Hence, the greatest number of mangoes that can be bought is:
500 / 77 = 6.49
Since we are only picking the whole number part, the answer is 6 mangoes.
(b) The price of 6 mangoes is:
6 * 77 = 462 pence
Hence, if you take £5 (500 pence) to the store, your change should be:
500 - 462 = 38 pence
38 pence is the same as £0.38
