We’ve been planning how we could raise money to try to twin our toilets at school to help people in countries that don’t have enough toilets. We were shocked to discover that about a third of the world’s population does not have a proper toilet to use and we wanted to help. In maths we worked out the cost of making buns using information on recipes and the price of different ingredients. e.g. We worked out that we could get 12 lots of 125g out of a 1.5kg bag of flour, and 8 lots of 125g from a 1kg bag of sugar. Then we worked out how much each batch of buns would cost by calculating the price of each ingredient, e.g. we found the cost of the flour by dividing the price of a bag of flour by 12 and the cost of the sugar by dividing the price of a bag of sugar by 8. We plan to try to make buns and also sell lemonade to raise money.
