Asif buys a book for £3.50 and a bookmark for 75p. If he pays with a £5 note how much change will he have?
75p
£1.50
£1.75
£3.75
To solve this problem, first you need to find the total spent (£3.50 + 75p = £4.25) and then subtract from £5 (£5 - £4.25 = 75p)

One way to work this out is to add the pence first and then add the result to the pounds:
