Explanation:

Let's assume that each cheese roll costs £2, the coffee costs £3, and the orange juice costs £2.50.

First, let's calculate the total cost of Tim's purchases in euros. Two cheese rolls would cost 2 x €2 = €4. The coffee and orange juice would cost €3 + €2.50 = €5.50.

Tim pays part of the cost with a 10 euro note, so he still needs to pay €4 + €5.50 - €10 = -€0.50. This means Tim gets €0.50 change.

Now, let's convert the remaining cost (-€0.50) into pounds. The exchange rate is not provided, so let's assume that 1 euro is equivalent to 0.90 pounds.

To convert euros to pounds, we multiply the amount in euros by the exchange rate. So, -€0.50 x 0.90 pounds/euro = -£0.45.

Since we can't pay with negative money, Tim won't pay anything in pounds. In fact, he will receive £0.45 as change due to the conversion rate.

Therefore, based on the assumptions we made, Tim doesn't need to pay anything in pounds, and he will receive £0.45 as change.
