  1. 9 x 5p = 45p
    2 x 20p +5p = 45p
    4 x 10p + 5p = 45p
    2 x 10p + 20p + 5p = 45p
    7x 5p + 10p = 45p
    3x 10p + 3x5p = 45p
    2x 10p + 5x5p = 45p
    20p + 10p + 3x5p = 45p
    20p + 5x 5p = 45p

    9 ways to pay 50p

    50p
    5p x 10
    10p x 5
    20p x 2 + 5p x2
    20p + 5p x6
    10p x 4 + 5p x 2
    10p x 3 + 5p x 4
    10p + 5p x 8
    10p x 2 + 5p x 6

    20+5+5+5+5+5
    20+10+5+5+5
    10+10+10+5+5+5

    If the monster costs 50p I add 5p.
    so there are 10 ways to pay 50p.

  14. Good Morning Miss.
    You could pay with this money if the cost is 45p
    5p+5p+5p+5p+5p+5p+5p+5p+5p=45p
    10p+10p+10p+10p+5p =45p

    10p+10p+10p+5p+5p+5p=45p
    10p+10p+5p+5p+5p+5p+5p=45p

    If the monster egg was 50p you could pay like this
    50p=50p
    20p+20p+10p=50p
    20p+20p+5p+5p=50p

    My Sister’s jokes are not funny.
    Stop it you’re making me not concentrate.
    You’ve shoved her!!
    I’m not the only one.
    I’ll do what ever you say.
    I’d rather go outside.
    I would’ve went too the park.

  19. Sorry I did not mean to post this on the maths question, I meant to post it on the SPaG question!

  20. Miss Carruthers says:

    That’s okay Luisa! I figured it was meant to answer the SPaG!

    Why don’t you have a go answering the Maths one too!
