In this activity, we will be working out how many pence there are in a sum of money by looking at the number of pounds, 10p coins and 1p coins.
Remember that there are 100p in a pound.
Example 1
How many pence are there in £2.46?
Answer
£2.46 is the same as 200p + 40p + 6p = 246p
We can also find the result if we multiply £2.46 × 100 = 246p
Or simply remove the decimal point!
Example 2
How many pence are there in £26.52?
Answer
£26.52 × 100 = 2652p
Top tip: The decimal point separates the pounds and the pence, so if we remove it, we end up with just the pence!
(In the following questions, leave out the p in the answers)
