Question

Carlos needs to buy equipment for his garden pond. He needs to buy 2 cables and 1 of each of the other items. Carlos uses a voucher for (1)/(5) off the cost of the pond liner. (b) How much will Carlos pay in total? Show a check of your working. Use the space below to show clearly how you get your answer.

Answer 1

Carlos will pay a total of £385.72.

Answer 2

## Step 1: First, we need to calculate the total cost of the cables. Since Carlos needs to buy 2 cables and each cable costs £18.98, we multiply the cost of one cable by 2. ### \(2 \times £18.98 = £37.96\) ## Step 2: Next, we need to calculate the discounted price of the pond liner. Carlos has a voucher for \(\frac{1}{5}\) off the cost of the pond liner. So, we need to calculate \(\frac{1}{5}\) of the pond liner's cost and subtract it from the original price. ### \(\frac{1}{5} \times £240.99 = £48.198\) ### \(£240.99 - £48.198 = £192.792\) ## Step 3: Finally, we need to add up the costs of all the items to find out how much Carlos will pay in total. This includes the cost of the water pump, the water filter, the cables, and the discounted cost of the pond liner. ### \(£192.792 + £74.98 + £79.99 + £37.96 = £385.722\)
