Need help working out prices of weights

Hi,

If something is £10.99 per kg and it weighs 276g, how much would it cost me? Would it be £3.17 or 'around' £2.80?

Also, what would be 256g? Maybe close to £3.07 or around £2.58?

Thanks.

    Thanks.

    I don't know the exact size of the 250g item but a retailer charged me exactly £3.17 for 276g and £3.07 for 250-ish'g. Wasn't sure if I'd been overcharged for both.

    How would I split £10.99 into each gram myself? It's a little confusing understanding the whole thing.

    Open windows calculator, enter:

    10.99 divided by 1000 = 0.01099

    0.01099 pence per gram

    surely that should be 0.01099 pounds per gram
    Or 1.099 pence per gram.

    You're correct, my maths has obviously gone down over the years!
