In order to give the same value for money as Tim's idea, Jane has to reduce the price by 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The given  parameters are;

Cost of each box of breakfast cereal = 3 pounds

Amount of cereal in each box of breakfast cereal = 160 g

160 g of cereal = 100%

25% of one box of cereal = 25% of 160 g = (25/100)×160 g= 40 g

Given that Jane wants her idea to give the same value of money as Tim's idea, we have;

160 g of cereal costs 3 pounds

1 g of cereal will cost 3/160 pounds

40 g of cereal will cost 40*3/160 = 3/4 pounds

Therefore, the percentage 3/4 pound is of 3 pounds =

Which gives, Jane has to reduce the price by 25% to give the same value for money as Tim's idea.
