Now let's work out which popular animal is the most cost-effective to keep! What kind of costs would be involved in keeping an animal at a zoo? Let's brainstorm! Click on the Padlet below:
The three most popular animals are (drum roll, please!):
1) Which animal do you think would cost the most to keep? Write your prediction!
We have searched far and wide (on the internet, of course!) through several animal-supporting organisations to seek out various costs.
2) Use the prices below to calculate each animal's mean costs to identify the most cost-effective.
Your formula for calculating the mean cost for each animal:
Mean purchase cost + Mean keeping cost = Total animal cost.
Record your answers in your Maths Journal (remember to show your working out).
