1. The problem asks to find the difference in cost between 300 g of potatoes and 300 g of carrots using the graph.
2. From the graph description:
- Potatoes cost about 30 pence at 500 g, so cost per gram is approximately $\frac{30}{500} = 0.06$ pence/g.
- Carrots cost about 20 pence at 500 g, so cost per gram is approximately $\frac{20}{500} = 0.04$ pence/g.
3. Calculate the cost for 300 g of each:
- Potatoes: $300 \times 0.06 = 18$ pence
- Carrots: $300 \times 0.04 = 12$ pence
4. Find the difference in cost:
$$18 - 12 = 6$$
5. Therefore, the difference between the cost of 300 g of potatoes and 300 g of carrots is 6 pence.
