Question

Bag of sweets £1.50 per bag, buy 3 get 1 free how many sweets can you buy for £9

Answer 1

Answer: 8

if you're talking about how many bags of sweets you can BUY, as in without counting the ones you got for free, it's 6. if you're talking how much you GOT, it's 8.

Step-by-step explanation: you can multiply 1.5 times an unknown number to get nine. the unknown number would be the number of bag of sweets you get without the "buy 3 get 1 free" thing. You can reverse the equation to get 9 divided by 1.5 equals 6.

you can then divide 6 by three, which is 2- meaning you got two free bags of sweets. 6 plus 2 is 8.

Answer 2

8 I believe

Explanation:

1.50 x 3 = 4.50 so for 4 bags you need 4.50

1.50 x 6 = 9 but you can't forget about the buy 3 get 1 deal

you bought 6 which is two times 3 so would get two free

6+2= 8

I apologize if I didn't explain it enough or got it wrong
