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)
