#### Problem 1
Janet buys a pen for 4p and a rubber for 12p. How much does she spend?
- Solution:
Janet spends 4p on a pen and 12p on a rubber.
Total spent = 4p + 12p = 16p.
Answer: 16p
#### Problem 2
Alex gives his friend 15p. He is left with 10p. How much did he have to begin with?
- Solution:
Alex gave away 15p and was left with 10p. To find out how much he had initially, we add the amount given away to the amount left.
Initial amount = 15p + 10p = 25p.
Answer: 25p
#### Problem 3
Hamed buys an apple for 16p. He pays with a 20p coin. How much change does he receive?
- Solution:
Hamed pays with a 20p coin for an apple that costs 16p. The change he receives is the difference between the amount paid and the cost of the apple.
Change = 20p - 16p = 4p.
Answer: 4p
#### Problem 4
Tomas is given 20p by a friend. He had 13p already. How much does he have now?
- Solution:
Tomas already had 13p and received an additional 20p from a friend.
Total amount = 13p + 20p = 33p.
Answer: 33p
#### Problem 5
Alma has three 10p coins. She buys a bottle of water for 18p. How much money will she have left?
- Solution:
Alma has three 10p coins, so she has a total of 3 × 10p = 30p. She spends 18p on a bottle of water.
Remaining amount = 30p - 18p = 12p.
Answer: 12p
#### Problem 6
Nura has four coins. She has 12p. What are her coins?
- Solution:
Nura has 12p in total using four coins. The possible combination of coins that add up to 12p using exactly four coins is:
- 1 × 10p coin
- 2 × 1p coins
Total = 10p + 1p + 1p = 12p.
Answer: 1 × 10p coin and 2 × 1p coins (Note: There could be other combinations depending on the available coin denominations, but this is a common one.)
#### Problem 7
Ian spends 23p on a packet of crisps. He gets 17p change. How much did he give the shopkeeper?
- Solution:
Ian spends 23p and receives 17p in change. The amount he gave to the shopkeeper is the sum of the cost of the crisps and the change received.
Amount given = 23p + 17p = 40p.
