Weekly Maths Problem

Don’t forget to write out the problem at the top of the page, date the work and show all your workings out (even the wrong answers) and then file the evidence in your folder! This is

It is Valentine Day during half term and some of the home schoolers want to want to buy Valentine cards for every one in their year group. There are 13 Year 9's, so Jill wants to buy 13 cards. At the shop she finds individual cards priced £1.25, and packs of 4 cards prices at £4.50 and packs of 5 cards priced £5.00. There is a Valentine's discount of 12% on individual cards. Which is the cheapest way for Jill to buy all 13 cards.

You can share your answers here in the forum on the website or with me as I visit during the week. Remember you need to show your workings out to get the maximum points.
