Mehvish buys 1/2 kg carrots, 3 kg potatoes, 2 kg onions and 1 1/2kg of chicken. PRICE LIST
carrots: 50p per kg
potatoes: 64 per kg
onions: 42p per kg
Chicken: £6 per kg

She pays with a £20 note.

Work out the change that Mehvish should get.

The amount of change will be £7.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the amount of change that Mehvish should get

1/2 kg carrots at 50 p per kg will be;

1/2 * 50 = 25 p

3 kg potatoes at 64 p per kg will be

3 * 64 = p 192

2 kg onions at 42 p per kg

2 * 42 p = 84 p

1 1/2 kg chicken at £6 per kg will be:

since £1 is 100 p

1.5 * 6 = £9 (9 * 100 p = 900p)

since £1 is 100 p

£20 will be;

20 * 100 = 2,000 p

So let us make the subtraction as follows;

2,000- 900 - 84-192 - 25 = 799 p

In pounds, this is divided by 100

we have this as 799/100 = £7.99

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
