8 My cat, Pickle, eats 7 cans of cat food and 1 small packet of dry food per fortnight, costing £5.84.

My neighbour’s cat, Cossie, eats 10 tins of cat food and half a packet of dry food per fortnight,
costing £6.95.
a Use t (pence) to represent the cost of 1 tin of cat food and d (pence) to represent the cost
of 1 small packet of dry food.
i Explain why Cossie’s food bill per fortnight can be written as
