Question

Buns cost 40p each

cakes cost 55p each
i spend exactly £4.35 on buns and cakes.
How many of each did i buy?

Answer 1

Lets make an estimation

Lets estimate that 4 buns are bought = 4*40
= 160 p
= 1.60 euro

Lets estimate that 5 cakes are bought = 5*55
= 275 p
= 2.75 euro

Total money spent = 1.60 + 2.75= 4.35

Therefore, 4 buns and 5 cakes are bought.
