Hi Katie,
Haven't you got your exam tomorrow?
Anyway I had a look and .....
1/ calculate the cost per kg for each month
2/ divide the known index by the cost per kg for Feb (260/£13.00) x Jan cost £12.90 = 258
and the same again for March 260/13.00 x £13.15 = 263
Remeber that 260 is the base index given, so you use this to calculate the others.
I hope I have made sense of this for you & good luck for tomorrow.
