• 10 x 0.25 = £2.50

• 2.5 x 10 = £25

• 25 x 10 = £250

• 0.25/10 = 2.5p

If fixed costs are £300 and variable costs for making one sandwich are 50p, how would you work out total costs for 200 sandwiches?

• 200 x 300 x 0.50 = Total Sales

• 300 + 0.5 X 200 = Total Sales

• 200 + 0.5 x 300 = Total Sales

• 300 x 50 + 200 = Total Sales
