Counting Cash: Write the Amount in Pence

To work out how many pence there are in a sum of money, we need to look at the number of pounds, 10 p coins and 1p coins.

Remember there are 100 p in a pound.

Example 1

How many pence are there in £2.46?

Answer

£2.46 is the same as 200 p + 40 p + 6 p = 246 p

We can also find the result if we multiply £2.46 × 100 = 246 p

Example 2

How many pence are there in £26.52?

Answer 

£26.52 × 100 = 2652 p

(In the following questions, leave out the p in the answers)
