These quizzes practise concepts within this topic. Multiple-choice answers alone do not demonstrate drawing, conducting an investigation or using a digital tool.
Activities to practise beyond the quiz
- Supported by the guided activity; selecting an MCQ does not demonstrate this action.
- VC2M7N10-C01Unit price is cost divided by quantity. Use matching units before comparing, such as dollars per litre. For a percentage saving, the original price is the comparison whole.
- VC2M7N10-C02A good unit price may still require an expensive extra pack. Compute the number of complete packs and the delivered total. State whether offers may be mixed and whether unused items have any value.
- VC2M7N10-C03Subtract fixed fees before testing how many packs fit a budget. Discount only the costs included in the offer. If comparing cost per item used, divide by the used count, not the purchased count. A table or spreadsheet should make these decisions explicit.
- VC2M7N10-C04Formulating a rational/percentage financial model, designing an algorithm, using digital tools and justifying representations and a recommendation.
