Maths Challenge

 Hi everyone! 

I'm having a couple of emails saying that you're finding the maths tricky today. That's okay, it's meant to be!! 

Here's a good place to start: 

Look at the pane of glass that costs £150 and the pane that costs £140. 

Think about what is the same and what is different - hint - the perimeter is the same for both...but what about the area? 

What does this tell you about how much each square of glass costs? 

Once you know how much each square of glass costs, you can work out how much the whole area costs! 

Then, once you know this, you can work out how much the frame (or perimeter) costs and work out how much each square of frame costs!  

That's a lot of information but if you work through it carefully, and make notes at each stage, you should be able to make a good start on this problem! 

Good luck!
