maybe to get pupils to compare the selling prices of these similar items outside.

Seems a little straight forward, may want to inject more thinking elements into it.

Some suggestions:

For the Pre-lesson activity: Can consider including hyperlinks to resources where pupils can revise the 3 concepts.

As of the "end-product" of the assignment - to compute the selling price: Pupils can possibly put up an "Sales" page for the Budget store.
>> One pupil in the class can be the administrator and invite the rest to edit the blog. This will allow them to post pictures as well as their calculation in the post (when "comment" feature does not allow)
>> Each pupil to take the picture of the product, list down the cost price and the sales price of the item in the post. The end product could be a "Sales" page.
>> Others can be invited to 'critique' if the sales price is reasonable or they can do a comparison with similar products.
