Let’s solve each of the 9 money addition and subtraction problems one by one.
---
Problem [1]: £2.46 + £2.40
Add the pence first:
46p + 40p = 86p → write down 86p, no carry.
Add the pounds:
£2 + £2 = £4
So total =
£4.86
✔ Check: 2.46 + 2.40 = 4.86 — correct.
---
Problem [2]: £8.70 - £4.98
We can do this by subtracting step by step or borrowing.
Start with £8.70 minus £4.98.
Think of it as:
£8.70
- £4.98
________
Subtract pence first: 70p - 98p → not enough, so borrow £1 (which is 100p).
Now we have:
£7 + 170p
- £4 - 98p
Pence: 170p - 98p = 72p
Pounds: £7 - £4 = £3
Total =
£3.72
✔ Check: 8.70 - 4.98 = 3.72 — correct.
---
Problem [3]: £6.70 - £1.06
Pence: 70p - 06p = 64p
Pounds: £6 - £1 = £5
Total =
£5.64
✔ Check: 6.70 - 1.06 = 5.64 — correct.
---
Problem [4]: £2.66 - £0.83
Pence: 66p - 83p → not enough, borrow £1.
So: £1 + 166p - £0 - 83p
Pence: 166p - 83p = 83p
Pounds: £1 - £0 = £1
Total =
£1.83
✔ Check: 2.66 - 0.83 = 1.83 — correct.
---
Problem [5]: £3.30 + £4.43
Pence: 30p + 43p = 73p
Pounds: £3 + £4 = £7
Total =
£7.73
✔ Check: 3.30 + 4.43 = 7.73 — correct.
---
Problem [6]: £6.47 - £2.09
Pence: 47p - 09p = 38p
Pounds: £6 - £2 = £4
Total =
£4.38
✔ Check: 6.47 - 2.09 = 4.38 — correct.
---
Problem [7]: £5.71 + £1.02 *(Note: Image shows “+ £1.02” under problem [7], though partially cut off — assuming based on context)*
Pence: 71p + 02p = 73p
Pounds: £5 + £1 = £6
Total =
£6.73
✔ Check: 5.71 + 1.02 = 6.73 — correct.
---
Problem [8]: £6.05 + £4.44 *(Image shows “+ £4.44” under problem [8])*
Pence: 05p + 44p = 49p
Pounds: £6 + £4 = £10
Total =
£10.49
✔ Check: 6.05 + 4.44 = 10.49 — correct.
---
Problem [9]: £4.71 + £3.02 *(Image shows “+ £3.02” under problem [9])*
Pence: 71p + 02p = 73p
Pounds: £4 + £3 = £7
Total =
£7.73
✔ Check: 4.71 + 3.02 = 7.73 — correct.
