1
100
£1 = 100p. One pound is the same as 100 pence.
2
80
50p + 20p + 10p = 80p. Together they are 80 pence.
3
5
5 × 10p = 50p. Five 10p coins make 50p.
4
50
30p + 20p = 50p. Both cost 50p together.
5
Spend 35p → 65p; Spend 20p → 80p; Spend 50p → 50p; Spend 75p → 25p
100-35=65, 100-20=80, 100-50=50, 100-75=25.
6
75p
50p + 20p = 70p. 75p is more than 70p.
7
5p, 20p, 50p, £1
5p < 20p < 50p < £1 (100p). Always change pounds to pence to compare.
8
50
35p + 15p = 50p.
9
250
200p + 50p = 250p.
10

£10 - £6 = £4 change.
