Suha should buy 150 envelopes from shop 1 because the cost in shop 1 is 0.06 less shop 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of envelopes = 150
The cost of envelopes :
- Pack of 25 envelopes in shop 1 = 3.49
- Pack of 10 envelopes in shop 2 = 2.10
- Buy 2 packs get 1 pack free in shop 2.
Shop 1 :
The number of packs to buy 150 envelopes = 150 /25 = 6 packs
The total cost to buy 6 packs = 6 × 3.49 = 20.94
The cost of 150 envelopes in shop 1 is 20.94
Shop 2 :
The number of packs to buy 150 envelopes = 150 /10 = 15 packs
- For each 2 packs you get 1 pack free.
- 10 packs + 5 free packs = 15 packs
The total cost to buy 10 packs = 10 × 2.10 = 21
The cost of 150 envelopes in shop 2 is 21
The difference between shop 2 and shop 1 = 21 - 20.94 = 0.06
Therefore, the cost in shop 1 is 0.06 less than shop 2. So, Suha should buy 150 envelopes from shop 1.
Suha should buy the 50 envelopes from Letter2send.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
At Letters2send, a pack of 25 envelopes costs £3.49. We need to determine how many packs will have 150 envelopes.
The number of packs = [tex]\frac{150}{25} = 6.[/tex]
So 6 packs of 25 envelopes will have 150 packs.
The cost for 150 envelopes = [tex]3.49 (6) = 20.94.[/tex]
So at Letters2send, 150 envelopes cost £20.94.
Step 2:
At the stationery word, if you buy 2 packs of 10 envelopes, you get a pack of 10 envelopes for free. So 3 packs cost £4.20. You get 30 envelopes for £4.20.
The number of 30 envelope packs = [tex]\frac{150}{30} =5.[/tex]
The cost for 150 envelopes = [tex]4.20 (5) = $21.[/tex]
So in the stationery world, 150 envelopes cost £21.
Step 3:
150 envelopes from Letters2send are cheaper than the stationery world so Suha should buy the envelopes from Letters2send.
