Your Turn!!

Jim goes into a shop and buys x bottles of water costing 45p. 

He buys the bottles of water with a £5 note. 

How much change does Jim receive?

Give your answer in pence without any spaces.

Hint: Start by converting £5 to pence, and then go through the calculation you would need to do to work out the change for say 3 bottles of water. π + − ÷ × < > ≤ ≥ π pence

See the pattern above. How many crosses will there be when there are:

a) 4 dots? π + − ÷ × < > ≤ ≥ π
