December Challenge - Years 5 & 6

Who spent the most?

The following characters have just been Christmas shopping.  Who has spent the most money?

Elf – I bought 4 presents.  The cheapest was £15.50 then they increased by £4.50 each up to the most expensive.

Reindeer – I bought gifts for the 8 other reindeer.  The shop was offering “Buy 3 – Get 1 free.”  The usual price per item was £12.50.

Angel – My most expensive gift cost the same as the elf’s cheapest gift.  The other 6 got progressively cheaper by £1.10.

Snowman – I spent an average of £8.10 per present and I bought gifts for my wife, 5 nieces and 4 nephews.  

Solutions are to be completed by Friday 16th December.  Please post them into the Maths Challenge Box in the picture book library.
