  1. 45p · 25 plus 20 is 45.
  2. 35 · 20 plus 15 is 35p.
  3. 15p · Add the two prices: 10p + 5p = 15p.
  4. True · 20p + 30p = 50p, so that is correct.
  5. 8 · 50p minus 42p is 8p change.
  6. 40 · 22 plus 18 is 40p.
  7. True · 50 minus 35 is 15.
  8. 20 · 50 minus 30 is 20p.
  9. She added the prices wrong · 18p + 24p is 42p, not 52p. Priya added the numbers wrong somewhere along the way.
  10. 5 · Tom now has 45p + 20p = 65p. He still needs 70p - 65p = 5p more.
