what is the greatest number of plates jenny she can buy

Answer 1

5

Step-by-step explanation:

1.24 times 3 = 3.72

.95 (the value of pence to a pound in decimal form) = 2.85

6.18 for the teapot

2.72+2.85+6.18=11.75

She now has £8.25 left (20-11.75).

8.25/1.57=the amount of plates she can buy: 5.25477707006, so 5 with some money left
