Answer £9

If you say 3 months is 12 weeks then £15x12 = £180 and 5% of £180 is £9
But if you take it at 13 weeks then the answer is £9.75.

52 weeks in a year, 3 months is a quarter of a year and a quarter of 52 is 13 so there are 13 weeks in three months.
£15 a week x 13 weeks is £195 total spend so 5% cashback would be £9.75 but that isn't an option.
I therefore assume that they are averaging a month as being 4 weeks so the total over three months is 12 weeks not 13.
£15 a week x 12 weeks is £180 total spend so 5% cashback would be £9.
So the answer they are looking for should be £9 but this isn't strictly right.

I'll get my coat...

I think they're definitely looking for £9 because it has it as a specific example on their website here (in the blue arrows).
