Answer: He can buy 5 loaves of bread.

After buying 5 loaves 15 p will be left.

Explanation:

Given, In the supermarket a loaf of bread costs 37p .

To find: How many loaves can David buy with a
\pounds 2 coin?

Since
\pounds 1=100\text{ pence}

Then,
\pounds 2=200\text{ pence}

Number of loaves he can buy = (Amount he has) ÷ (Cost of a loaf of bread)

= 200 p ÷ 37 p


=5(15)/(37)

i.e. he can buy 5 loaves of bread and 15 p will be left.

Hence, He can buy 5 loaves of bread.

After buying 5 loaves 15 p will be left.
