🛎️ Understanding Money and Prices
- Money is measured using pounds (£) and pence (p).
- £1 = 100p, for example £3.68 = 368p.
🛎️ How to Add Prices?
- Add pounds and pence separately, then combine the total.
- If the pence total is 100 or more, convert to pounds (e.g. 149p = £1.49).
🛎️ How to Subtract Prices?
- Subtract pounds and pence separately.
- If there is not enough pence to subtract, exchange £1 for 100p first.
🛎️ How to Multiply a Price?
- Multiply the pounds and pence separately, then add them together.
- Convert extra pence into pounds at the end if needed.
🛎️ How to Divide a Price?
- Convert the full amount into pence first (e.g. £9.60 = 960p).
- Divide, then convert back to pounds and pence (e.g. 320p = £3.20).
