Question

£1.85 plus £3.30 equals what?

Answer 1

£1.85 plus £3.30 equals £5.15 after breaking down the addition into pence and pounds separately and then combining them.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves a simple addition of two monetary amounts in British pounds (£). To find the sum of £1.85 plus £3.30, we need to add the two amounts together.

First, let's line up the pounds and pence correctly:

• £1.85
• +£3.30

Now, we add the pence: 85p + 30p = 115p, which is equivalent to £1.15 because there are 100 pence in a pound. Our sum then becomes:

• £1.85
• +£4.30 (since we added £1 to the £3.30)

After adding the pound amounts: £1 + £4 = £5. Finally,

• £5.00
• +£0.15

Our total sum is £5.15. Therefore, £1.85 plus £3.30 equals £5.15.
