Five sweets cost 30p altogether. How much do seven sweets cost?

The best way to find out what 7 sweets cost, firstly, you should find out what one sweet would cost. You have 5 sweets, with a total cost of 30p. You should divide 30 by 5, giving you 6p per sweet. To get the cost of 7 sweets, you have to multiply 6p by 7, giving you 42p. Therefore, the cost of 7 sweets is 42p. Hope this helps :)

5 sweets cost 30p. 1 sweet would cost = 30/5 = 6p. 7 sweets would then cost = 7 * 6 = 42p.

The cost of seven sweets is 42p, calculated by first determining that one sweet costs 6p and then multiplying that cost by seven.
