1. **State the problem:**
We need to find which petrol is better value for money between Kieran's and Sophie's petrol, and then calculate the cost of 20 litres from the cheaper petrol station.
2. **Formula used:**
To find value for money, calculate the price per litre:
$$\text{Price per litre} = \frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Litres}}$$
3. **Calculate Kieran's price per litre:**
$$\frac{16.20}{12} = 1.35$$
So, Kieran pays 1.35 per litre.
4. **Calculate Sophie's price per litre:**
$$\frac{20.40}{17} = 1.2$$
So, Sophie pays 1.2 per litre.
5. **Compare prices:**
Since 1.2 < 1.35, Sophie's petrol is better value for money.
6. **Calculate cost for 20 litres from Sophie's station:**
$$20 \times 1.2 = 24$$
**Final answers:**
- a) Sophie's petrol is better value for money.
- b) 20 litres would cost 24 from Sophie's petrol station.
