Its simple! All you have to do is: Convert each price to a price per
kilogram. [Or price per litre if the item is a liquid.]
Then choose the cheapest price. Note! There are several different ways
to do the maths. This PowerPoint shows only one of the ways.

Which bag of Easter eggs is the better value? The purple packet costs
$9.98 for 475g or $22.59 per kg
The red packet costs $3.48 for 180 g or $20.78 per kg
$20.78 for 1 kg is less than $22.59 for 1 kg.The red 180g packet is better value for money.The smaller packet is the better value.

A 500g bag of pasta costs $3.65. What is the price per kilogram?
500g + 500 g = 1000g Two bags of pasta contain
1000g or 1 kg. $3.65 + $3.65 = $7.30 Or 2 × $3.65 = $7.30 The price per kilogram is
$7.30

Which packet of rice is the better value?
Two 500g packets make 1kg. $2.10 × 2 = $4.20 In the 500g packet the rice
costs $4.20 per kg. In the 5 kg pack one kg of rice
costs $22.60 ÷ 5 = $4.52 $4.20 is cheaper than $4.52. The 500 g packet is the better
value.

A 375 ml can of soft drink is priced at $1.40. Calculate the price per litre.
Two cans of drink contain 2 × 375 ml = 750 ml.
Three cans contain 3 × 375 ml = 1125 ml Two and a bit cans hold 1000 ml or 1 litre. Two cans is not enough and three cans is
too many. Exactly how many cans do I need?

Exactly how many cans do I need? 1 L is the same as 1000 mL.
I will need cans to make 1 litre.
1L = 1000 ml

1 Litre 375 mL=1000 375

How much will 1 litre costs? Cost of 1 litre = cost for 1 can × number of cans
Cost of 1 litre = $1.40 per can × cans = $3.73
1 litre will cost $3.73
375 mL for $1.40 is equivalent to $3.73 per litre.

What size Sultana Bran is the best value?
![Page 10: Its simple!](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681694a550346895de0e01e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
In the small packet the price of the Sultana Bran is $44.22 per kg.
One small packet weighs 45g.
1000 ÷ 45 =
packets weigh 1 kg
One small packet costs $1.99.
× $1.99 = $44.22
45g for $1.99 is equivalent to $44.22 per kilogram.

In the 500g box, the price of the Sultana Bran is $11.58 per kilogram.
One 500g packet of Sultana Bran costs $5.79.
Two packets of 500g Sultana Bran make 1 kg.
2 × $5.79 = $11.58
500g for $5.79 is equivalent to $11.58 per kilogram.

In the 820g box the price of the Sultana Bran is $9.04 per kilogram.
The large 820g box of Sultana Bran costs $7.41.

Summary of how to do the maths Calculate the number of containers required to
make 1 kilogram or 1 litre. (1000 ÷ size of the container in g or mL) Calculate the price of 1 kg or 1 L by multiplying
the price per container by the number of containers required to make 1 kg or 1 L.
Remember! There are other ways to do the maths. Can you do the calculations a different way?
