Cost of peanuts
To make it easier to work out the total, let’s partition the amounts into pounds and pence.
£1 x 3 = £3
20p x 3 = 60p
6p x 3 = 18p
Now we can add these together:
£3.00
£0.60
+£0.18
£3.78
Look at the information above and listen to the audio.
Cost for crisps
First work out how much it costs for 6 packets of nuts.
Partition the number:
51p = 50p + 1p
50p x 6 = £3.00 or 300p
1p x 6 = £ 0.06 or 6p
Add these together
Total = £3.06 (or 306p)
Next work out how much 3 x packets of crisps are:
£2.09 = £2 and 9p
£2.00x 3 = £6.00 ( or 600p)
£0.09 x 3 = £0.27 (or 27p)
Add these together:
Total = £6.27 (or 627p)
Now we can add the total cost for the packets of nuts and crisps.
Total Cost for drinks and snacks
£9.33 + £3.78 = £13.11
