To solve this problem, we first need to determine the price of one plant pot.

We know:
- The total cost for 6 plant pots is £11.40.
- The cost per plant pot is therefore:
  \[
  \text{Price per pot} = \frac{11.40}{6} = 1.90 \, \text{pounds}.
  \]

Now, to find the cost of 18 plant pots, we multiply the price per pot by 18:
\[
\text{Cost for 18 pots} = 1.90 \times 18 = 34.20 \, \text{pounds}.
\]

Thus, it would cost **£34.20** to buy 18 plant pots.

3. If the price of each pot increases by 20%, what would the new cost of 18 pots be?
4. How much would 12 plant pots cost?
5. How much more expensive is buying 18 plant pots than 12 plant pots?

**Tip**: When working with unit prices, always divide the total cost by the quantity to find the per-unit price, then multiply for larger quantities.
