One way to work this out is to add the pence first: 65p + 25p = 90p
Next add the units of pounds: £0 + £5 + £5 + £1 = £11
Then add the tens of pounds: £10 + £10 = £20
Then add all of these to the hundreds of pounds: £200 + £20 + £11 + 90p = £231.90
Next add the units of pounds: £0 + £5 + £5 + £1 = £11
Then add the tens of pounds: £10 + £10 = £20
Then add all of these to the hundreds of pounds: £200 + £20 + £11 + 90p = £231.90

£7.39
£7.49
£8.39
£8.49
To do this you could take away first the pence units, then pence tens, then pound units then pound tens:
£23.78 - 9p = £23.69
£23.69 - 20p = £23.49
£23.49 - £5 = £18.49
£18.49 - £10 = £8.49
£23.78 - 9p = £23.69
£23.69 - 20p = £23.49
£23.49 - £5 = £18.49
£18.49 - £10 = £8.49
