Sh.25 + Sh.25 + Sh.25 + Sh.25 = 4kg X sh. 25 = sh. 100
Each loaf of bread costs sh. 50 therefore 2 loaves will cost 2 X sh. 50 = sh. 100
1 kg of salt costs sh. 20
½ kg of salt will cost sh. 10
Sh. 100 + Sh. 100 + Sh. 100 + Sh. 100 = 4 kg
∴ the total cost is sh. 100 X 4 kg = sh. 400
2 packets of wheat flour @ sh. 150 per 2-kg packet
2 packets x sh. 150 = sh. 300
∴ 2 packets of wheat flour @ sh. 150 per 2-kg packet will cost Sh. 300
