Speaker 1: Hey Annie.

So I've just taken an order, it's for a baby shower.

Are you alright to quote that up for me?

Speaker 2: Yeah that's fine.

Speaker 1: And don't forget the 10% discount because it's a large order.

Speaker 2: OK, thanks Kitty.

(TO AUDIENCE) OK, so I have got 30 cupcakes, a mixture between red velvet, carrot and coconut and raspberry.

A giant cupcake with chocolate fingers around the base.

It's quite a tricky order.

Speaker 1: I think I've got everything I need to work out the quote; the cost of each of the different types of cupcakes, the cost of the giant cupcake, plus, the extra chocolate fingers that they want.

First, I need to work out the total cost of the small cupcakes.

They said they want 3 different flavours.

I assume they want the same number of each of the different types of cupcake and not every flavour is the same price.

Red velvet are £1.95 each, so are carrot, but raspberry and coconut are £2.25 each.

They want 30 in total, so that's 30 divided by the 3 flavours, which is 10 of each flavour.

Now, I need to calculate what each of those flavours will cost, by multiplying each of them by 10.

The red velvet and carrot are £1.95 each, so I can multiply £1.95 by 10.

Because it's timesing by 10, I know I can get the answer by moving the digits 1 place to the left of the decimal point.

So that would be 19.5, which in money, is £19.50.

Now to work out the coconut and raspberry.

They're a bit more expensive, they're £2.25 each.

Times that by 10 is £22.50.

So all I have to do now is add them up.

So I have a total of £61.50.

Next I need to add the price of the giant cupcake.

That's £25.00, plus the extra fingers that they want, which are £5.00.

I can add that up easily, it's £91.50.

OK, I think I've got my quote ready.

Speaker 1: Ok, so have we got our quote?

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's £91.50.

Speaker 1: Cool, and do you want to show me how you got that?

Speaker 2: So there was 30 cupcakes and there was 3 flavours.

So that's 30 divided by 3, which is 10 of each.

The red velvet was £1.95, the carrot's £1.95 and coconut and raspberry is £2.25.

So I timesed them all by 10 added them all together and got £61.50.

Then I added the giant cupcake which is £25.00, the £5.00 extra for the chocolate fingers, added it all together and got £91.50 and then checked it on the calculator.

Speaker 1: Are you forgetting anything?

Speaker 2: The 10% discount.

Speaker 1: Yes.

(TO AUDIENCE) To find 10% you just divide by 10.

So to do that you just shift the digits to the right of the decimal point.

Speaker 2: (TO OTHER PEOPLE) £9.15. And then you… take it away from £91.50. So that's £82.35.

Speaker 1: Perfect. That's done.
