(b) a chart, giving the information described in paragraphs (2) and (4) below, shall be displayed so as to be clearly legible in a conspicuous position in at least one place on that part of the premises where food to which such unit prices refer is displayed and sold.
(2)

The column which refers to the kilogram or to 100 grams shall be to the left of the column which refers to the pound or ¼ lb and each column shall be headed so as to identify that it relates to a unit price as well as the quantity by reference to which that price is given.
(b) Where, on any premises, unit prices are indicated either by reference to the kilogram or to 100 grams but not partly by reference to the one and partly by reference to the other a chart displayed in accordance with paragraph (1)(b) above shall only be required to give information relating to the particular quantity, that is to say, the kilogram or 100 grams, to which such unit prices refer.
(3) To calculate, for the purpose of the calculations referred to in paragraphs (1)(a) and (2)(a) above, a unit price by reference to the pound, the unit price indicated by reference to the kilogram shall be multiplied by 0.4536, and to calculate a unit price by reference to ¼ lb, the unit price indicated by reference to 100 grams shall be multiplied by 1.134, so as to produce, as a result of either calculation, a unit price, rounded up to the nearest penny if the calculation produces a sum which includes 0.5 or more of a penny but down if it produces a sum which includes any lesser part of a penny.
(4) Where a chart displayed in accordance with paragraph (1)(b) above—
(a) displays a series of unit prices by reference to the kilogram, it shall display at least those unit prices that appear in the chart set out in Part I of Schedule 5 to this Order and may, in addition, display other unit prices by reference to the kilogram and the pound, and
(b) where a chart displays a series of unit prices by reference to 100 grams it shall display at least those unit prices that appear in the chart set out in Part II of that Schedule and may, in addition, display other unit prices by reference to 100 grams and ¼ lb.
