Numeracy Intermediate June 2025 Unit 1 Q5
5. In this question you will be assessed on the quality of your organisation, communication and accuracy in writing.
Ewan keeps bees and sells jars of honey.
He buys two different sizes of jar for the honey.
- An empty small jar costs 12p and can hold 200 ml of honey.
- An empty large jar costs 20p and can hold 500 ml of honey.
Ewan works out how much to charge for each jar of honey, by:
- calculating the cost of the honey in the jar
- adding on the amount he paid for the jar.
For both sizes of jar, Ewan charges the same price per 100 ml for the honey itself.
Ewan charges his customers £3.40 for a 500 ml jar of honey.
This price is for the honey and the jar.
How much should Ewan charge for a 200 ml jar of honey?
