Average daily expenditure = 24 + (0.56 × 3) / 4 = $ 24.42 Average cost of meal over the whole trip = 24.42 ÷ 3 = $ 8.14

Thank Xavier Sng:)

Refer to the question: Total cost of 3 days = 24.56×3= 73.68 Add e cost for 4th day to get total cost of 4 days = 24 + 73.68= 97.68 1 day = 3 meals 4 days = 12 meals Cost per meal = 97.68 ÷ 12 = $8.14. It is a part whole concept followed by division. See average as multiples with the no. of days. Easier for the child. Draw models if necessary.

You are most welcome Irene. The method I showed is taking advantage of the fact that the money spent was $24 and some for the first three days and $24 exactly on the fourth. By taking the extra bit more than $24 in the first three days and share that over the four days, it takes away the necessity in dealing with bigger numbers. It is so simple that a child need not even use a calculator. Regards

Thank Pang Shing Hsiu :)

Interesting thing to note is that Liming with $180 was already initially having twice the amount that Gopal had ($90). Since Liming spent twice as much as Gopal ($20 to $10), the remainder of Liming's money must still be twice of what Gopal had left with.

Thank you Xavier much appreciated. Workings are very clear

Please don't mention it, it is my pleasure. Thank you for your question.

4 times the next higher number, which is 5. So 4 x 5 = 20

Starting from the top most sector and going clockwise : 3 times 4 (1 more than 3) to give 12, 7 times 8 (1 more than 7) to give 56, 2 times 3 (1 more than 2) to give 6, 5 times 6 (1 more than 5) to give 30, 4 times 5 (1 more than 4) to give 20 and finally, 9 times 10 (1 more than 9) to give 90.

I think it's 4 square plus 4. The pattern seems to be squaring what's inside the then add the number itself. Example 9 squared plus 9 = 90, 3 square plus 3 = 12

Very sharp, Lukas. I like!

In algebra it is n x (n + 1) = square of n + n

Hehe thank you X!. Old brain needs to work so next time can teach my nieces.

Well, aren't we all knocking on Heaven's door haha

Yes we are. But before the door opens let's help one another and live better!
