Q1:
280g for ￡3.8 so each gram is ￡0.01357
175g for ￡3.5 so each gram is ￡0.02
Therefore the large tub is cheaper (ie 175g for ￡3.5 is more expensive).

Q2:
0.72L is 3% so that total before the increase is 100% = 24L
After the increase, the total will be 24.72L

Q3:
I am assuming angle PQR is the right angle (from your notation). This implies 62 = 42 + (PQ)2
==> 36 = 16 + (PQ)2
==> 20 = (PQ)2
==> PQ = 4.472
