British Money Challenge Answers
💰 Part 1: Coin Counting & Basic Calculations
1. Count the total value of these coins: 2 × 50p, 3 × 20p, 4 × 10p, 5 × 5p
Answer: £2.05
Working: (2 × 50p) + (3 × 20p) + (4 × 10p) + (5 × 5p)
= 100p + 60p + 40p + 25p = 225p = £2.25
2. Which is worth more: £3.45 or 350p?
Answer: £3.45
Working: £3.45 = 345p, and 345p > 350p is false
Actually: 350p = £3.50, so £3.45 < £3.50
Correct answer: 350p is worth more
3. Round £4.67 to the nearest 10p
Answer: £4.70
Working: £4.67 is between £4.60 and £4.70
7p is closer to 10p than to 0p, so round up to £4.70
4. If you buy a chocolate bar for £1.35 and pay with £2.00, how much change do you get?
Answer: 65p
Working: £2.00 - £1.35 = £0.65 = 65p
🛒 Part 2: Shopping Problems
5. You buy 3 apples at 45p each and 2 bananas at 30p each. What's the total cost?
Answer: £1.95
Working: (3 × 45p) + (2 × 30p)
= 135p + 60p = 195p = £1.95
6. Three friends share the cost of a £12.60 cinema trip equally. How much does each person pay?
Answer: £4.20
Working: £12.60 ÷ 3 = £4.20
7. You save £2.50 each week. How many weeks will it take to save £20.00 for a bicycle?
Answer: 8 weeks
Working: £20.00 ÷ £2.50 = 8 weeks
8. A toy originally costs £15.00 but has a 20% discount. What's the sale price?
Answer: £12.00
Working: 20% of £15.00 = £15.00 × 0.2 = £3.00
Sale price = £15.00 - £3.00 = £12.00
🎯 Part 3: Advanced Money Problems
9. Five books cost £17.50 in total. What's the price per book?
Answer: £3.50
Working: £17.50 ÷ 5 = £3.50 per book
10. A family of 4 goes to the cinema. Adult tickets cost £8.50 each, child tickets cost £6.00 each. If there are 2 adults and 2 children, and they pay with £50.00, how much change do they receive?
Answer: £21.00
Working: (2 × £8.50) + (2 × £6.00)
= £17.00 + £12.00 = £29.00
Change = £50.00 - £29.00 = £21.00
