190 · 75 + 60 + 55 = 190p.
£2.15 · £1.20 is 120p, and 120 + 95 = 215p = £2.15.
£0.70 · £0.40 + £0.30 = £0.70.
True · £3.47 means 3 pounds and 47 pence, written the correct way.
280 · £1.85 is 185p, and 185 + 95 = 280p.
£4.08 · Eight pence is less than ten, so you need a zero to hold the tens place: £4.08.
£3.55 · £10 is 1000p, £6.45 is 645p, and 1000 - 645 = 355p = £3.55.
False · Noah is wrong. The £ sign already names the currency, so the extra p is a mistake. £3.47 is correct.
£5.00 · £4.15 + £0.60 + £0.25 = £5.00 total. £10.00 - £5.00 = £5.00 change.
265 · £10 is 1000p, £7.35 is 735p, and 1000 - 735 = 265p.
