Maths Quiz - Solving Problems - Money 2 (Easy) (Answers)
1. Jill bought a bucket for £11.89. She paid with a £50 note, and was given £33.11 in change. By how much was she short changed?
[x] £5.00
[ ] £6.00
[ ] £7.00
[ ] £8.00
If you get short changed, it means that you have been given less change than you should have been given.
£50 - £11.89 = £38.11 which is £5.00 more than the change Jill was given, ? she was short-changed by £5.00
2. How many pounds is 7,805 pence?
[ ] £7.85
[x] £78.05
[ ] £780.50
[ ] £7,805.00
7,805 ÷ 100 = £78.05. When multiplying by 100, just move the decimal point two places to the right BUT when dividing by 100, just move the decimal point two places to the left
3. A house costs £186,898.99. Sophie haggles and manages to get the price reduced by £11,899. How much did Sophie pay for the house?
[ ] £176,999.99
[ ] £175,999.99
[x] £174,999.99
[ ] £173,999.99
£186,898.99 - £11,899 = £174,999.99. A 'discount' is a reduction in price or cost
4. How many 20 p coins are there in £3,420?
[ ] 7,100
[ ] 10,100
[ ] 13,100
[x] 17,100
There are five 20 p coins in £1 ? in £3,420 there are 3,420 × 5 = 17,100
5. If you have £36, how much will you have if you quadruple it?
[x] £144
[ ] £108
[ ] £12
[ ] £9
If you quadruple something, you multiply it by 4
6. If Frank earns £350 a week, how much will he have earned in one calendar year?
[ ] £18,550
[x] £18,200
[ ] £17,850
[ ] £17,500
52 × £350 = £18,200 because there are 52 weeks in a calendar year
7. If 19 items cost £142.50, how much will 7 items cost?
[ ] £17.50
[ ] £35.00
[x] £52.50
[ ] £70.00
First find the cost of one item: 142.5 ÷ 19 = 7.5
Now we find the cost of 7 items: 7.5 x 7 = 52.5
Remember that, when dealing with money, decimals should be given to 2 places: 52.5 = £52.50

[ ] £2.34
[x] £2.64
Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price = £2.99 - £0.35 = £2.64. If the profit is a negative number, then you have made a loss
9. If you have £180, how much will you have if you treble it?
[ ] £60
[ ] £90
[ ] £360
[x] £540
If you treble something, you multiply it by 3
