Puzzle No. 662鈥� Monday 27 January
Sarah hosted 21 people for a Burn’s night supper this weekend. Each 450g haggis typically feeds 3 people and the last time Sarah bought a 450g haggis was in 2017 at a cost of £3.20. Price inflation has been running at 1.1% per annum since then. How much did Sarah need to spend on haggis to feed her dinner guests this year?

£23.15
Working out:
Sarah is hosting 21 people so she needs 7 haggis (each one feeds three people, so it’s 21 divided by 3).
Year Cost
2017 £3.20
2018 £3.24
2019 £3.27
2020 £3.31
So it’s 7 haggis x £3.31 = £23.15
