1. **State the problem:** We need to determine which offer gives the best value for money when buying flower fertiliser bags. 2. **Given:** - Offer A: 2 bags of 25 kg for 34 - Offer B: 3 bags of 50 kg for 94.50 3. **Goal:** Find the cost per kg for each offer to compare value. 4. **Calculate total weight for each offer:** - Offer A total weight: $2 \times 25 = 50$ kg - Offer B total weight: $3 \times 50 = 150$ kg 5. **Calculate cost per kg for each offer:** - Offer A cost per kg: $\frac{34}{50} = 0.68$ - Offer B cost per kg: $\frac{94.50}{150} = 0.63$ 6. **Compare costs:** - Offer A costs 0.68 per kg - Offer B costs 0.63 per kg 7. **Conclusion:** Offer B is cheaper per kg and therefore the better value for money. **Final answer:** Offer B is the best value for money.
