Money Calculations

Adding values ending with 9:

£4.99 + £2.75 =

Round £4.99 to £5 and then add £2.75; answer will be £7.75

As you have added 1p to £4.99 when you rounded it to £5, you have to take away 1p from £7.75. So, final answer is £7.74


£3.29 + £2.20 =

Round £3.29 to £3.30 and then add £2.20; answer will be £5.50

As you have added 1p to £3.29 when you rounded it £3.30, you have to take away 1p from £5.50. So, final answer is £5.49

Now try these problems:

1. £7.49 + £3.50 =

2. £8.69 + £4.20 =

3. £11.29 + £3.26 =

4. £56.49 + £25.20 =

5. £34.79 + £46.20 =

6. £49.25 + £26.89 =

7. £57.28 + £22.19 =

8. £28.35 + £28.39 =

Facts:

0.5 + 0.5 = 1
0.25 + 0.75 = 1
0.75 + 0.5 = 1.25
0.75 + 0.75 = £1.50

So 50p + 50p = £1
     25p + 75p = £1
     75p + 50p = £1.25
     75p + 75p = £1.50

Example: £4.50 + £3.50 =

£4.00 + £3.00 = £7.00
£0.50 + £0.50 = £1.00

So, answer is £7.00 + £1.00 = £8.00

Now try these problems:

1. £3.25 + £4.75 =
2. £9.25 + £3.75 =
3. £14.50 + £3.75 =
4. £12.50 + £2.75 =
5. £16.75 + £3.50 =
6. £18.25 + £13.50 =
7. £36.75 + £24.25 =
8. £49.50 + £29.50 =
9. £27.25 + £19.75 =
10. £39.75 + £49.75 =

Facts:

£1.00 - 50p = 50p = £0.50
£1.00 - 25p = 75p = £0.75
£1.00 - 75p = 25p = £0.25

Example:

£8.00 - £0.25

Split £8 into £7 and £1
Take away 25p from £1 which will be 75p
Now you have £7 and 75p
So, answer is £7.75

Example: £15 - £3.25

Step 1: Split £3.25 into £3 and 25p
Step 2: £15 - £3 = £12
Step 3: £12 - 25p = £11.75

Now try these problems

1. £15 - 50p =
2. £35 - 75p =
3. £45 - £1.25 =
4. £27 - £2.50 =
5.  £19 - £3.75 =
6. £35 - £2.50 =
7. £46 - £3.50 =
8. £65 - £5.50 =
9. £40 - £5.25 =
10. £20 - £4.75 =




Money problems

How to calculate change quickly?

Sam buys 3 lollipops at 39 each. What change does he get if he pays with a £2 coin?

working out

39p x 3 = 87p

Count onwards from 87p to £2 that is 200p

87p + 3p = 90p
90p + 10 = 100p
100p + 100p = 200p

In total, we have added 3p + 10p + 100p = 113p = £1.13

Now try these questions:

1.Sam buys a sandwich for £2.53 and drink for 37p. What change will he get if he pays with a £5 note?

2. Anna buys a book for £4.59 and a pen for £2.19. What change will he get if she pays with £10?

3. Sam buys a video game for £13.99 and a ball for £5.24. What change will he get if he pays with £20?

4. Sam buys a cup cake for £3.25 and ice cream for £2.25. What change will he get if he pays with £10?

5. Anna buys a bag for £11.75 and a teddy for £3.50. What change will she get if he pays with £20?

Multiplication

Mental Multiplication:
Example:  83 x 30

Step 1: 83 x 3 = 249, so 83 x 3 = 2490

Now try these:

1.  49 x 50

2. 152 x 30

3. 462 x 40

4. 562 x 30

5. 98 x 20


Example: 34 x 12

Step 1: keep 34 as it is and partition 12 into 10 and 2.

Step 2: 34 x 10 = 340
            34 x 2    =  68

Step 3:  Add 340 and 68. Answer is 408

Now try these:

1. 78 x 13

2. 35 x 14

3. 48 x 16

4. 94 x 14

5. 84 x 22

6. 49 x 23

7. 76 x 31

8. 71 x 19

9. 72 x 22

10. 63 x 12

Example:

156 x 3

Step 1. Partition 156 into 100, 50 and 6

Step 2. Multiply: 100 x 3 = 300
                              50 x 3 = 150
                                6 x 3 =    18
Step 3: Add them: 300 + 150 + 18 = 468

Now try these:

1. 461 x 7           6. 234 x 5

2. 528 x 4           7. 456 x 3

3. 432 x 6           8. 782 x 2

4. 327 x 8

5. 148 x 9
